Quezon City's air quality reflects Metro Manila's northern urban corridor, with vehicle traffic on EDSA and Commonwealth Avenue and the extraordinary jeepney, tricycle, and vehicle density generating elevated PM2.5 and NOₓ. Consistent Philippine Sea trade winds provide maritime ventilation, while the Metro Manila basin's partial Marikina Valley enclosure concentrates emissions under calm conditions and the extraordinary vehicle density from the ageing jeepney fleet maintains consistently elevated readings throughout most of the year.
