Cicero's air quality reflects its position in the densely urbanised Chicago metropolitan inner western suburbs, with vehicle traffic on the I-290 Eisenhower Expressway and the surrounding industrial and warehouse character generating sustained NO₂ and PM2.5. The flat Illinois prairie allows reasonable dispersal on most days, while the broader Chicago metropolitan regional ozone from prevailing southwesterly winds and the dense metropolitan industrial background are the primary ongoing air quality concerns.
