Warsaw's air quality faces significant seasonal challenges, with coal and wood burning in residential heating systems generating some of Poland's highest winter PM2.5 concentrations alongside heavy traffic on the surrounding expressway network. Summer conditions are considerably better, with the flat Mazovian plain allowing good wind dispersal on days with appreciable westerly or southwesterly winds.
