Norwalk's air quality in Connecticut reflects the lower Housatonic River valley at Long Island Sound, with vehicle emissions from I-95 and the Merritt Parkway and surrounding mixed commercial and residential character contributing local sources. The Long Island Sound coastal position provides maritime ventilation, while the broader New York metropolitan area's regional ozone and PM2.5 on prevailing southwesterly winds elevates background pollution above the Connecticut coastal baseline throughout the summer.
