Mielec's air quality reflects the flat Subcarpathian lowland in southeastern Poland, with vehicle traffic on the S19 expressway and the Mielec Special Economic Zone's aerospace manufacturing — including the PZL Mielec aircraft factory — generating industrial and aircraft testing emissions alongside residential coal burning. The surrounding Sandomierz Basin provides reasonable dispersal on most days.
