West Sacramento's air quality reflects the Sacramento Valley's temperature inversion problem on the Yolo County side of the Sacramento River, with vehicle emissions from I-80 and the surrounding Port of Sacramento and food processing operations contributing local sources. Winter tule fog inversions trap vehicle and port emissions, while summer ozone from the Sacramento Valley agricultural and metropolitan traffic corridor is the primary warm-season concern throughout the year.
