Jabalpur's air quality reflects the flat Madhya Pradesh Narmada River headwaters valley at 393 metres, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the ordnance manufacturing, marble quarrying, and engineering corridor contributing local sources. The Satpura and Vindhya ranges create topographic variation, while the dry northeast monsoon concentrates emissions and the marble quarrying operations' distinctive stone dust PM10 represents Jabalpur's most locally unique air quality contribution throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Jabalpur?

Pollution in Jabalpur typically rises when vehicle traffic, quarrying activity, as well as light manufacturing combine, especially once windblown dust events occur. Dust carried on these winds adds substantially to particulate levels. The wet season generally clears the air, while the dry season lets levels build back up.

Are air quality levels in Jabalpur 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.
