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.
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.
