Cover Story: Arizona, one of the fastest-growing states in the U.S., encompasses several counties classified as O3 nonattainment areas influenced by non-local contributions. This study investigates the impact of pollution transport on O3 concentrations at six sites in Arizona, using a five-year dataset categorized into five seasons. Analysis of transport pathways and potential O3 source areas indicates that elevated O3 levels in Arizona are significantly influenced by regional and international transport, except for Phoenix and Tucson sites. This work emphasizes the role of pollution transport in O3 variability within the state, providing valuable insights for future pollution mitigation strategies. View this paper
