Brookhaven's air quality reflects its position in DeKalb County within the northern Atlanta metropolitan corridor, with vehicle emissions from I-85 and Georgia 400 and the dense residential and commercial redevelopment contributing local sources. The rolling Piedmont terrain provides moderate wind dispersal, while summer ozone from the broader Atlanta metropolitan vehicle emissions and regional biogenic VOC sources is the primary warm-season concern throughout the year.
