Air quality is not only affected by air pollution, but meteorology also plays a large role. Weather can significantly impact air quality, as different aspects of the weather affect the amounts of ozone and particulates that are present in a specific area. Sunshine, rain, higher temperatures, wind speed, prevailing winds, air turbulence, and mixing depths all affect pollutant concentrations.
