Jacksonville's air quality in North Carolina reflects the flat Coastal Plain terrain, with vehicle emissions from US-17 and the Camp Lejeune Marine Corps Base military vehicle and aviation training operations contributing elevated NOₓ and PM10. The surrounding North Carolina coastal plain and Onslow Bay sea breezes provide ventilation, while the flat terrain generally allows reasonable wind dispersal throughout the year.
