Georgia's air quality is defined by the Atlanta metro area's sprawl-driven vehicle emissions. The surrounding forests paradoxically contribute to ozone formation by emitting volatile organic compounds. Coastal Savannah enjoys much cleaner air.
GA EPD (Environmental Protection Division) oversees air quality. Atlanta metro vehicle inspection program. Ozone action day programs.
Atlanta metro area — marginal ozone nonattainment. Georgia's pine forests naturally emit VOCs that combine with vehicle NOx to form ozone.
