Alīgarh's air quality reflects the flat Uttar Pradesh Ganga-Yamuna Doab plain at 187 metres, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the lock manufacturing, textile dyeing, and agricultural corridor contributing local sources. The dry winter northeast monsoon concentrates emissions from October to March extensively, while the flat alluvial terrain's minimal topographic dispersal maintains Aligarh among the NCR eastern corridor's more persistently challenged manufacturing metropolitan environments throughout the dry season.

Are air quality levels in Alīgarh based on measurements or forecasts?
It is forecasts derived by downscaling forecasts provided by EU’s Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) by taking into account local conditions such as traffic patterns. CAMS bases its forecast on satellite measurements of particles and chemical compounds in the atmosphere. Airmine’s services were developed with support from the European Space Agency (ESA)’s Business Applications and Space Solutions (BASS) team.
