New Haven's air quality reflects the Long Island Sound coastal position, with Atlantic and Sound sea breezes providing maritime ventilation and the surrounding Connecticut hills creating modest topographic variation. Vehicle emissions from I-91 and I-95 and upwind industrial and urban sources from the New York metropolitan area corridor are the primary concerns, while the harbour provides direct maritime ventilation from the Sound on southerly and easterly wind days.
