Cheektowaga's air quality reflects the Buffalo-Niagara metropolitan area's inner suburb adjacent to Buffalo Niagara International Airport, with aviation and ground vehicle emissions generating elevated NOₓ and ultrafine particles in the flight corridor alongside vehicle traffic on the I-90 New York State Thruway. Lake Erie and Lake Ontario's lake winds provide maritime ventilation, while lake-effect weather events provide effective periodic atmospheric washing throughout the year.
