Kenosha's air quality benefits from Lake Michigan's powerful westerly lake winds providing consistent maritime ventilation along the Wisconsin-Illinois border shoreline. Vehicle emissions from I-94 and surrounding manufacturing contribute local sources, while summer ozone from the broader Chicago and Great Lakes industrial airshed is the primary warm-season concern throughout the year.
