Buckeye's air quality reflects the Phoenix metropolitan area's western Valley of the Sun basin, with vehicle emissions from I-10 and MC-85 the primary local sources in this rapidly growing Maricopa County suburb. Windblown Sonoran Desert dust from surrounding open agricultural areas contributes PM10, while summer ozone from the vast Phoenix metropolitan traffic and intense desert heat are the primary warm-season recurring air quality concerns throughout the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Buckeye?
Like most US cities, Buckeye sees air quality shift from season to season. In short, the cooler winter months typically bring the cleanest air of the year, whereas spring winds can kick up sudden dust storms that spike particulate levels sharply for a day or two. Sudden haboob-style dust storms can appear with little warning during the spring wind season.
Are air quality levels in Buckeye based on measurements or forecasts?
It is forecasts derived by downscaling forecasts provided by EU’s Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) by taking into account local conditions such as traffic patterns. CAMS bases its forecast on satellite measurements of particles and chemical compounds in the atmosphere. Airmine’s services were developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team.
