India Clean Air Observatory

A programme of the Environmental Policy & Outcomes Forum (EPOF).

Reading the data

Why an empty map is not a clean map

This Observatory's station coverage is incomplete. A missing marker may mean no station is registered here or no eligible observation is available; it does not prove that no monitor exists elsewhere.

Unmonitored areas are not coloured as clean. Older observations carry freshness labels. Missing history is not zero pollution and is not filled with invented measurements.

Check the station directory, source and observation time. A nearest-station reading is not personal exposure. For individual health decisions, consult a healthcare professional and current official public-health advice.
