Williamsburg's Busch Gardens Williamsburg air quality benefits from the flat Virginia Coastal Plain position, with consistent Chesapeake Bay maritime influence providing background ventilation around this European-themed park. Vehicle traffic on US-60 and the concentrated visitor traffic contribute local sources, while the flat coastal terrain allows reasonable dispersal and the park generally maintains moderate Virginia Tidewater readings and the Atlantic coastal influence provides generally acceptable conditions throughout most of the year.
