Health advice

    Breathing this air for a day is like smoking

    Based on Berkeley Earth's estimate: 22 µg/m³ of PM2.5 over 24 hours ≈ 1 cigarette. The particles in this card get denser as PM2.5 rises.

    Hourly forecast from Copernicus CAMS via Open-Meteo, turned into AQI with the same CPCB method (rolling 24-hour and 8-hour averages). The best and worst times use each hour's own PM2.5 and PM10 level; the shaded band marks the best two daylight hours.
