out to sea? Why? (? If you live in a coastal city that typically experiences warm, sunny days, would you expect daytime winds to carry urban air pollution farther inland, or out to sea? Why? (Hint: What type of thermally-induced wind is relevant here?)

I promise: 5 star rating for you
 
These winds are caused by daytime heating and while the Sun is up all pollution would be spread by these winds. The pollution would be carried in which ever direction the wind is going. At night the winds settle down as there are less winds to cause winds and convection currents.
