Local air quality in Żary owes much to its position near the Żarski Forest fringe, where forest and farmland near the German border is the main local emissions source, compounded by seasonal farm-machinery and harvest dust. The flat terrain nearby provides decent ventilation on most days, though calm winter spells raise local readings.
