Farīdābād's air quality reflects the flat Haryana Yamuna River plain adjacent to Delhi's southeastern metropolitan corridor, with vehicle traffic on surrounding expressways and the manufacturing, brick kiln, and industrial corridor generating some of India's most elevated sustained PM2.5. The dry winter northeast monsoon concentrates Delhi metropolitan and local emissions extensively, while the flat alluvial plain's minimal dispersal and the industrial density maintain Faridabad among India's more persistently challenged NCR industrial environments throughout the dry season.

When is air pollution at its worst in Farīdābād?

Air quality in Farīdābād tends to be worse when road traffic as well as manufacturing and food processing build up and windblown dust events occur. Strong seasonal winds can lift dust from the surrounding dry terrain and push particulate levels sharply higher. Rains during the wetter months typically wash pollutants out of the air.

Are air quality levels in Farīdābād 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.
