Sharūrah's air quality reflects the flat southern Saudi Arabian Najran Province desert plain at 720 metres adjacent to the Yemen border, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the military, government, and petroleum corridor contributing local sources. Windblown Rub' al Khali and Empty Quarter dust generates elevated PM10 during shamal events, while the conflict in neighbouring Yemen contributes regional smoke on southerly winds and Sharurah generally maintains moderate to elevated southern Saudi Arabian border desert city readings throughout most of the year.
