College Station's air quality benefits from the flat Texas Brazos Valley terrain providing generally good wind dispersal, with vehicle emissions from SH-6 and the surrounding Texas A&M University campus and research corridor contributing relatively modest local emissions compared to Texas's major industrial cities. Prevailing southerly Gulf breezes provide warm-season ventilation, while summer ozone from regional Texas vehicle emissions and agricultural activity across the Brazos Valley is the primary warm-season concern throughout the year.
