Morādābād's air quality reflects the flat Uttar Pradesh Ramganga River plain at 167 metres, with the extraordinary brass manufacturing — Moradabad being India's brass city — vehicle density, and brick kiln corridor generating elevated heavy metal PM2.5. The dry winter monsoon concentrates emissions extensively and Moradabad maintains among India's more distinctively brass industry-influenced Gangetic Plain environments throughout the dry season.

When is air pollution at its worst in Morādābād?

Morādābād usually sees its poorest air quality when traffic emissions and manufacturing and food processing coincide with periods when dry, windy weather picks up. Dust carried on these winds adds substantially to particulate levels. Rains during the wetter months typically wash pollutants out of the air.

Are air quality levels in Morādābād 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.
