Jackson's air quality in Michigan reflects the Grand River valley's position in south-central Michigan, with vehicle emissions from I-94 and the surrounding manufacturing and correctional facility operations contributing local sources. The flat southern Michigan terrain allows reasonable dispersal, while the Great Lakes westerly influence provides clean air from Lake Michigan and summer regional ozone from the Great Lakes industrial corridor is the primary warm-season concern throughout the year.
