Daytona Beach's air quality benefits from its direct Atlantic Ocean coastal position in Volusia County, with consistent Atlantic sea breezes providing reliable maritime ventilation along the World Center of Racing shoreline. Vehicle emissions from I-95 and the Daytona International Speedway's concentrated race event traffic are the primary local sources, while summer ozone from subtropical heat is the primary warm-season concern and the flat coastal terrain allows good wind dispersal.
