Faro's air quality benefits from its Algarve coastal position at the Ria Formosa lagoon, with consistent Atlantic and Mediterranean sea breezes providing reliable maritime ventilation. Vehicle traffic on the A22 Via do Infante and the surrounding tourism and services economy are the primary local sources, while the lagoon's open coastal geometry and the outstanding Atlantic and Mediterranean dual-coast exposure generally maintain Faro among Portugal's cleaner urban environments throughout most of the year.
