Why it ranks here

Cleaner than usual. The last 7 days averaged 24.8 µg/m³, well below its typical 78.9; rain or wind often clears the air for a while.

Chronic pollution. Its typical day over the past year was 78.9 µg/m³, 5.3× the WHO 24-hour guideline, so it ranks high most of the time, not only during events.

Seasonal. Over the past year its worst months were November, December, averaging up to 265.9 µg/m³ against 29.0 in its cleanest month. Seasonal peaks usually come from heating, crop burning, fire or dust seasons.

Based on Narela's own measurements; causes are the usual kinds for a pattern like this, not a confirmed source.

Hour by hour

No hourly readings in the last few days. The chart returns when the monitors' data arrives.
