The Kłodnica basin location of Knurów plays the biggest role in local air quality, where coal mining legacy in the Upper Silesian basin and traffic on the surrounding expressway network both leave a measurable mark on local readings. Conditions tend to be at their most challenging during the winter heating season, easing markedly by summer.
