Leesburg's air quality in Virginia reflects its position in the Loudoun County Piedmont, with vehicle emissions from US-15 and the Dulles Greenway and the surrounding data center and technology corridor — Loudoun hosting the world's largest data center concentration — contributing elevated diesel generator testing and backup power emissions alongside the primary vehicle sources. The Catoctin Mountain to the northwest and the Bull Run Mountains to the south create modest topographic enclosure, while the Washington DC metropolitan airshed contributes regional background ozone.
