Stavanger's air quality is generally excellent, benefiting from the Boknafjord's powerful North Sea westerly airflows providing consistent maritime ventilation across Norway's oil capital. The primary local concerns are North Sea offshore support helicopter and vessel traffic contributing localised maritime NOₓ around the harbour and vehicle traffic on the E39, while the surrounding Norwegian Sea maritime climate and Stavanger's fjord setting provide outstanding natural ventilation that generally maintains excellent air quality throughout most of the year.
