Mysore's air quality reflects the flat Karnataka Deccan plateau's Mysuru River valley at 770 metres, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and the silk weaving, tourism, and vehicle density corridor contributing local sources. The elevated plateau position aids dispersal, while the dry northeast monsoon concentrates silk industrial and vehicle emissions and Mysore's extraordinary silk processing operations' distinctive organic emissions represent the most locally unique air quality contribution throughout most of the year.

When is air pollution at its worst in Mysore?

Pollution in Mysore typically rises when vehicle traffic and seasonal tourism traffic combine, especially once dry spells bring strong winds. Strong seasonal winds can lift dust from the surrounding dry terrain and push particulate levels sharply higher. Rainfall through the monsoon usually keeps levels in check.

Are air quality levels in Mysore 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.
