St. Louis' Gateway Arch air quality benefits from the Mississippi River waterfront position, with the river's wide waterway providing limited natural ventilation around the extraordinary 192-metre stainless steel monument. Vehicle traffic on the surrounding I-44 and I-70 corridors contributes local sources, while the riverfront's open geometry provides reasonable dispersal and the Gateway Arch generally maintains moderate St. Louis metropolitan readings throughout most of the year.
