What the air monitors measure

India's Central Pollution Control Board runs a network of continuous monitoring stations that publish a reading every hour. This shows what they were reading at one particular hour, and, just as telling, where there is nobody reading anything at all.

What the stations were reading

Concentration averaged across a city's stations, for the hour in the badge above. These figures are concentrations and not the composite AQI number. The AQI is derived from the worst pollutant at a station over a longer window, so it is not something this snapshot can give you.

Where nobody is measuring

A state with no station is not a state with clean air. It is a state with no measurement, and it will never appear in a ranking of the worst places to breathe.
