Najafgarh's air quality reflects the flat Haryana-Delhi border position adjacent to the Najafgarh Lake wetland, with vehicle traffic on surrounding roads and agricultural, industrial, and construction operations contributing local sources. The dry winter northeast monsoon concentrates emissions from October to March, while the flat alluvial terrain's minimal dispersal and the Delhi NCR's extraordinary regional industrial and vehicle background maintain Najafgarh among the Delhi metropolitan fringe's more persistently challenged environments throughout the dry season.

When is air pollution at its worst in Najafgarh?
In Najafgarh, road traffic, construction activity, along with agricultural activity are the main local sources, with conditions worsening when dry spells bring strong winds. Strong seasonal winds can lift dust from the surrounding dry terrain and push particulate levels sharply higher. The wet season generally clears the air, while the dry season lets levels build back up.
Are air quality levels in Najafgarh 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.
Why doesn’t the forecast always reflect wildfire impacts?
Airmine’s forecast uses CAMS (Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service) as its background atmospheric model. While CAMS includes wildfire emissions, these are derived from satellite observations and are not available in real time. During rapidly evolving wildfire events, there may therefore be a delay before increased emissions are incorporated into the model. As a result, the forecast may temporarily underestimate PM₂.₅ and other pollutants associated with wildfire smoke.
During rapidly evolving wildfire events, CAMS may lag by approximately 1–2 days before increased wildfire emissions are fully represented, which can lead to temporary underestimation of PM₂.₅ concentrations in Airmine’s forecast.
