Dearborn's air quality reflects the Ford Motor Company's historical heartland in the greater Detroit metropolitan area, with the Ford Rouge Complex and surrounding automotive supply chain generating industrial emissions alongside vehicle traffic on I-94 and M-39. The flat southeastern Michigan terrain allows reasonable dispersal, while the broader Detroit-Windsor industrial airshed contributes persistent background PM2.5 from both sides of the Canada-US border.
