Fort Myers' air quality benefits from Florida's consistent Gulf of Mexico sea breezes providing reliable maritime ventilation along the Lee County coast. Vehicle emissions from I-75 and US-41 are the primary local sources, while summer ozone from intense subtropical heat and the growing Southwest Florida metropolitan traffic is the primary warm-season concern, and the flat coastal terrain and Gulf breezes generally prevent significant topographic pollution accumulation.
