Lower Paxton's air quality reflects the Susquehanna River valley in Dauphin County Pennsylvania, with vehicle emissions from I-81 and the surrounding commercial and residential suburban character of this major Harrisburg eastern suburb contributing local sources. The broader mid-Atlantic regional airshed contributes elevated summer ozone from the Baltimore-Washington corridor, while the Pennsylvania ridgelines create topographic variation and the Susquehanna valley provides some natural ventilation throughout the year.
