The dominant influence on Alexandria's air quality is agricultural machinery and vehicle traffic across the wide plain, layered onto a setting on the flat Wallachian plain south of Bucharest within Teleorman. Ventilation here depends heavily on wind and rainfall, with the calmest, most stagnant periods generally producing the least favourable readings.
