Broken Arrow's air quality benefits from the flat Oklahoma prairie providing generally good wind dispersal, with vehicle emissions from US-51 and the surrounding Tulsa southeastern suburban corridor contributing local sources. The broader Tulsa metropolitan regional ozone from vehicle and natural gas industry emissions is the primary warm-season concern, while prevailing southerly winds generally maintain moderate conditions.
