O'Fallon's air quality benefits from the flat Missouri-Illinois river plain providing generally good wind dispersal, with vehicle emissions from I-64 and the surrounding mixed residential and commercial character of this major St. Louis western suburb contributing local sources. The St. Louis metropolitan regional ozone from vehicle and industrial sources is the primary warm-season concern, while the flat Midwest terrain generally maintains moderate conditions throughout the year.
