Elbląg's air quality reflects the flat Żuławy Vistula delta lowland in northern Poland, with vehicle traffic on the S7 expressway and surrounding engineering and food manufacturing contributing local sources. Baltic westerlies from Gdańsk Bay generally provide maritime ventilation, while winter residential coal and wood burning generates seasonal PM2.5 elevation and the flat coastal terrain allows reasonable dispersal on most days.
