Surat's air quality reflects the flat Gujarat Tapi River delta coastal position, with vehicle traffic on surrounding expressways and the diamond polishing, textile, and petrochemical manufacturing corridor generating elevated PM2.5 and organic aerosols. The Arabian Sea monsoon provides wet season cleansing, while the dry winter northeast monsoon concentrates emissions and Surat's extraordinary diamond and textile industrial character creates distinctive organic aerosol and chemical emission profiles throughout the year.

Are air quality levels in Sūrat 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.
