Atlanta's air quality is driven by some of the highest vehicle miles travelled per capita in the US, with the city's vast highway network generating sustained ozone precursor emissions across the Piedmont basin. The surrounding Appalachian foothills limit dispersal on calm days, making Atlanta a persistent non-attainment area for ground-level ozone.
