Lawton's air quality benefits from the flat Oklahoma plains providing excellent wind dispersal, with prevailing southerly Great Plains winds keeping readings moderate. Vehicle emissions from I-44 and Fort Sill's military vehicle and artillery testing operations contribute elevated NOₓ and dust PM10 alongside the primary local sources, while seasonal dust from the surrounding Oklahoma semi-arid landscape contributes elevated particulates during dry windy periods.
