Narela's air quality reflects the flat Delhi northern agricultural and industrial corridor at 218 metres, with vehicle density, brick kilns, and manufacturing generating elevated PM2.5. The dry winter northeast monsoon concentrates Delhi metropolitan and crop stubble burning emissions extensively and Narela generally maintains among Delhi's more persistently challenged northern industrial corridor environments throughout the dry season.

When is air pollution at its worst in Narela?

Narela usually sees its poorest air quality when road traffic, light manufacturing, as well as crop farming coincide with periods when dry, windy weather picks up. 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 Narela 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.
