Why should I care about this number?

What today's reading can—and cannot—tell you.

Useful signal

What the nearby ambient air looks like now.

The PM2.5/PM10 snapshot is tied to the named physical monitor and its timestamp. It is useful as an area-level reference for the campus.

Scientific boundary

Not your personal dose. Not automatically an AQI.

Local traffic, buildings, indoor filtration and your own breathing pattern can change actual exposure. A current PM snapshot is not promoted into an official AQI without the required averaging context.

Understand the number

PM2.5 and AQI are not the same thing.

See why averaging time, pollutant sub-indices and app methodology matter.

Current-value note: Latest stored CPCB OGD snapshot from the hourly collector. Source-observation age is 1.4 h; archive-capture age is 0.7 h. This is not a live-to-the-second measurement.

Official CPCB AQI

Not auto-imported into Delhi Air Health yet.

CPCB publishes official city/station AQI through its AQI portal and Sameer. We have not found a stable, documented machine-readable official AQI endpoint in the public OGD resource, so the site will not scrape an undocumented app feed and label it authoritative.

Measurement source

Campus ≠ monitor.

This is an ambient reading at a nearby monitor, not a measurement on campus or of personal exposure. Hourly collection and source publication latency can make the stored current layer lag the upstream feed.

Moderate reference confidence

Current official-source ambient reading, but the monitor is 3.4 km away, so local campus conditions may diverge more.

Selected monitor: R K Puram, Delhi - DPCC
Current-data layer: DPCC via Delhi Air Health hourly CPCB OGD archive
Monitor owner: DPCC

Why this monitor: Nearest verified Delhi monitor in Delhi Air Health's owned CPCB-linked station archive (3.4 km from the campus reference point). The page uses the latest stored source snapshot rather than waiting on a fresh upstream request.

Shared physical monitor

This exact monitor also represents 5 nearby campuses. Equal readings between them are expected and are not independent measurements.

Today in context

What changed over the last 24 hours?

The chart uses one time series for the same physical monitor: Delhi Air Health archive · successive CPCB OGD snapshots. Missing hours stay missing; Delhi Air Health does not interpolate invented particulate values across gaps.

Chart source

20 stored monitor observations in the recent archive window.

Our own sequence of CPCB OGD snapshots now provides at least as much current-window chart coverage as the OpenAQ fallback.

Recent direction

Roughly stable recently

Only described when recent chart coverage and change are large enough to support the label.

Compared with recent days

Not enough history for context

Needs at least 3 sufficiently complete OpenAQ hourly windows; archived CPCB snapshots are not used for this average.

PM2.5 snapshot coverage

20/24 hours

These are archived CPCB OGD reported snapshots, not assumed one-hour means and not used to manufacture a 24-hour AQI input.

PM10 snapshot coverage

20/24 hours

PM10 is shown independently; a missing series is not back-filled from PM2.5. Archive snapshots remain descriptive only.
