Rājkot's air quality reflects the flat Saurashtra Gujarat semi-arid plain at 138 metres, with vehicle traffic on surrounding expressways and the engineering goods, diamond polishing, and manufacturing corridor contributing local sources. The Arabian Sea monsoon provides wet season cleansing, while the dry winter northeast monsoon concentrates emissions and windblown Saurashtra dust contributes PM10, generally maintaining moderate to elevated Gujarat Saurashtra provincial metropolitan readings throughout the dry season.
