Kentwood's air quality benefits from Lake Michigan's consistent westerly influence providing clean maritime air across this Grand Rapids southeastern suburb in Kent County Michigan. Vehicle emissions from I-96 and the surrounding manufacturing and retail corridor contribute local sources, while summer regional ozone from Great Lakes industrial sources is the primary warm-season concern and the flat western Michigan terrain generally allows reasonable wind dispersal throughout the year.
