West Palm Beach's air quality benefits from its Atlantic coastal position in Palm Beach County, with consistent sea breezes providing reliable maritime ventilation. Vehicle emissions from I-95 are the primary local source, while summer ozone from intense subtropical heat and the broader Southeast Florida metropolitan traffic is the primary warm-season concern throughout the year.
