Białystok's air quality faces significant winter challenges from residential coal and wood burning in this northeastern Polish city, with the legacy of coal-dependent heating contributing elevated PM2.5 alongside vehicle traffic on the Via Baltica expressway. The flat northeastern Polish plain generally provides reasonable wind dispersal on most days, while the surrounding Podlaskie forests provide a relatively clean regional background compared to the heavily industrialised southwestern Poland airshed.
