Tarnów's air quality reflects the southern Polish position in the Biała river valley, with the Azoty nitrogen fertiliser and chemical complex generating elevated NH3, NOₓ, and industrial PM2.5 alongside vehicle traffic on the A4 motorway. The surrounding Carpathian foothills create partial topographic enclosure, while winter residential coal burning adds to the chemical industry's emissions in this major Polish industrial corridor.
