Jonesboro's air quality reflects the flat Arkansas Delta terrain, with vehicle emissions from US-63 and the surrounding Arkansas State University campus and agriculture and food processing industry contributing local sources. The flat Mississippi Alluvial Plain provides generally good wind dispersal, while summer ozone from regional vehicle and agricultural sources across the broader Mississippi Valley airshed is the primary warm-season concern throughout the year.
