Queen Creek's air quality reflects the Phoenix metropolitan area's southeastern San Tan Valley basin extension, with vehicle emissions from US-60 and SR-24 the primary local sources in this rapidly growing Maricopa-Pinal County suburb. Windblown Sonoran Desert dust from surrounding open desert and 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.
