Hāora's air quality reflects the greater Kolkata metropolitan area's western Hooghly River bank position, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the jute, manufacturing, and dense urban industrial corridor generating elevated PM2.5 and NOₓ. The Bay of Bengal monsoon provides wet season cleansing, while the dry winter northeast monsoon concentrates the extraordinary industrial corridor's emissions and Howrah generally maintains among eastern India's more persistently industrial corridor-influenced urban environments throughout the dry season.

Are air quality levels in Hāora 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.
