Patiāla's air quality reflects the flat Punjab agricultural plain at 250 metres, with vehicle density, brick kilns, and manufacturing generating elevated PM2.5. The dry winter northwest monsoon concentrates emissions and Punjab's extraordinary crop stubble burning creates severe October-November episodes, maintaining Patiāla among Punjab's more persistently challenged major metropolitan environments throughout the dry season.

The wet season generally clears the air, while the dry season lets levels build back up. Outside the monsoon, dry-season stagnation can let pollution build up further.
Are air quality levels in Patiāla 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.
