Sitting on the Timiș river plain in Banat, Lugoj sees agricultural activity and vehicle traffic across the plain as the dominant local influence on air quality, while the surrounding Timiş terrain affects how pollutants disperse. Calm, still conditions tend to let levels build here more than in breezier weather, and the local topography around Lugoj can trap emissions for longer stretches during stable atmospheric periods.
