| PM2.5 | 25.57 ยตg/mยณ | โค40 ยตg/mยณ (24hr) | Lower is better |
| Fine particulate matter (diameter <2.5 ยตm). These ultra-fine particles penetrate deep into lungs and enter the bloodstream, causing respiratory disease, heart attacks, and reduced life expectancy. Main sources: vehicle exhaust, construction dust, industrial emissions, crop burning. | |||
| PM10 | 29.27 ยตg/mยณ | โค60 ยตg/mยณ (24hr) | Lower is better |
| Coarse particulate matter (diameter <10 ยตm). Includes dust, pollen, and mold spores. Causes coughing, aggravates asthma, and irritates eyes/throat. Less dangerous than PM2.5 but still a major concern in dusty cities like Raipur. | |||
| NOโ | 37.54 ยตg/mยณ | โค40 ยตg/mยณ (annual) | Lower is better |
| Nitrogen Dioxide โ reddish-brown gas from vehicle engines and power plants. Irritates airways, worsens asthma, and contributes to smog/acid rain formation. High NOโ is a strong indicator of traffic-related pollution. | |||
| SOโ | 45.26 ยตg/mยณ | โค50 ยตg/mยณ (24hr) | Lower is better |
| Sulfur Dioxide โ pungent gas from burning coal, oil, and industrial smelting (steel plants near Raipur). Causes burning sensation in nose/throat, breathing difficulty, and contributes to acid rain which damages buildings and vegetation. | |||
| CO | 0.44 mg/mยณ | โค2 mg/mยณ (8hr) | Lower is better |
| Carbon Monoxide โ colorless, odorless gas from incomplete combustion (vehicles, generators, burning biomass). Reduces blood's ability to carry oxygen, causing headaches, dizziness. High levels indoors can be fatal. Especially dangerous in enclosed/poorly ventilated areas. | |||
| Oโ | 62.65 ยตg/mยณ | โค100 ยตg/mยณ (8hr) | Lower is better |
| Ground-level Ozone โ unlike protective ozone in upper atmosphere, ground-level Oโ is harmful. Formed when sunlight reacts with vehicle exhaust and industrial emissions. Peaks in afternoon heat. Triggers chest pain, coughing, and throat irritation. Especially harmful for children and elderly. | |||
| NHโ | - ยตg/mยณ | โค400 ยตg/mยณ (24hr) | Lower is better |

| Parameter | Value | Ideal | Score | Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TDS Very Good | 366.24 ppm | โค300 ppm | 75 /100 |
|
| Total Dissolved Solids โ measures dissolved minerals, salts & metals in water. High TDS makes water taste salty/bitter, can cause scaling in pipes, and may indicate contamination. BIS acceptable limit: 500 ppm. Lower is better | ||||
| pH Level Perfect | 7.76 | 6.5โ8.5 | 100 /100 |
|
| Measures acidity (pH<7) or alkalinity (pH>7) of water. Too acidic water corrodes pipes releasing metals; too alkaline causes scale buildup and bitter taste. Neutral pH 7.0 is ideal. BIS range: 6.5โ8.5. Closer to 7.0 is better | ||||
| Supply Below Average | 7.2 hrs/day | 24 hrs | 30 /100 |
|
| Hours of piped water supply per day. 24/7 continuous supply is ideal. Intermittent supply causes negative pressure in pipes, drawing in contaminants from surrounding soil. Also forces storage in tanks which increases bacterial growth. Higher is better | ||||
| Fluoride Perfect | 0.789 mg/L | โค1.0 mg/L | 100 /100 |
|
| Fluoride concentration in water. Small amounts (0.5โ1.0 mg/L) help prevent dental cavities, but excess fluoride (>1.5 mg/L) causes dental fluorosis (staining/pitting of teeth) and skeletal fluorosis (bone deformity). BIS limit: 1.0 mg/L (acceptable), 1.5 mg/L (max permissible). Lower is better | ||||

Raipur context: Raipur is a growing metropolitan area with expanding road networks and an industrial belt along the Siltara-Urla corridor. Nava Raipur (Atal Nagar) generally has wider roads with better setbacks, resulting in lower noise exposure. The WHO recommends daytime noise below 55 dB and nighttime below 40 dB for healthy living.
NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) is a satellite-based measurement that detects how green and healthy vegetation is from space. This data is analysed at two buffer radii โ 1000m and 3000m โ around the area centre using Landsat 8/9 OLI (estimated) satellite imagery at 30m resolution. The final green cover score is the average of both radii, giving a balanced view of your immediate neighbourhood (1km) and wider surroundings (3km).

Below Average Green Cover
Limited greenery in this area. The urban heat island effect is likely noticeable โ expect hotter summers and more dust. Air quality may also be impacted. Look for areas with individual gardens or compound trees to partially offset this.
Consider: proximity to any nearby parks or green belts outside this immediate zone.
Raipur context: As per satellite LULC data, Raipur's urban green cover has been declining due to rapid construction. WHO recommends 9 sq.m green space per person โ most Indian cities fall short. Nava Raipur's planned sectors show higher NDVI due to mandatory green belt provisions.

Patharidih on the Kharun river (flows through Raipur city) is the most critical hotspot โ it exceeded the BIS nitrate limit (45 mg/L as NOโโป = 10.16 mg/L as N) in all three seasons of 2022. The Kharun is a direct tributary of the Seonath, which feeds into the Mahanadi, forming Raipur's primary water source basin.
Simga on the Seonath river (boundary of Raipur & Durg districts) also showed persistent nitrate exceedance in pre- and post-monsoon seasons.
The Air Quality Index (AQI) is a standardised indicator (0โ500) that communicates how polluted the air currently is. A lower AQI means cleaner air.
The overall AQI equals the highest sub-index among all measured pollutants. Each sub-index is calculated by linear interpolation between CPCB/EPA breakpoints for that pollutant's concentration.
| AQI Range | Category | Health Impact |
|---|---|---|
| 0 โ 50 | Good | Minimal impact |
| 51 โ 100 | Satisfactory | Minor breathing discomfort to sensitive people |
| 101 โ 200 | Moderate | Breathing discomfort to people with lung/heart disease |
| 201 โ 300 | Poor | Breathing discomfort on prolonged exposure |
| 301 โ 400 | Very Poor | Respiratory illness on prolonged exposure |
| 401 โ 500 | Severe | Affects healthy people; serious impact on those with existing diseases |
Each pollutant's sub-index is calculated using linear interpolation:

ee.Image.normalizedDifference(['B5', 'B4']) โ per GEE TutorialThe Quiet Score measures how quiet and peaceful an area is, on a scale of 0 to 100. A higher score means a quieter, more livable area โ better for living, sleeping, and overall well-being. It is calculated using real geographic data from OpenStreetMap to determine proximity to noise sources like highways, industries, and railways.
| Parameter | Weight | How It's Scored |
|---|---|---|
| Highway Proximity | 40% | Distance to nearest motorway/trunk/primary road. 0m = 0 points, โฅ2000m = 100 points. Linear interpolation. |
| Industrial Proximity | 25% | Distance to nearest industrial zone. 0m = 0 points, โฅ2000m = 100 points. Linear interpolation. |
| Railway Proximity | 15% | Distance to nearest rail/light rail track. 0m = 0 points, โฅ2000m = 100 points. |
| Highway Density | 10% | Count of major roads within 2km. 0 roads = 100 points, โฅ10 roads = 0 points. |
| Industrial Density | 10% | Count of industrial zones within 2km. 0 zones = 100 points, โฅ5 zones = 0 points. |
Daytime and nighttime noise levels (dB) are estimated using the FHWA Traffic Noise Model (simplified). The model calculates noise attenuation based on distance:
| Source | Reference Level | At 100m | At 500m | At 1000m |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Major Highway | 78 dB @ 10m | 58 dB | 44 dB | 38 dB |
| Industrial Zone | 70 dB @ 50m | 64 dB | 50 dB | 44 dB |
| Railway (Leq) | 60 dB @ 25m | 48 dB | 34 dB | 28 dB |
| Airport | 75 dB @ 1km | โ | 81 dB | 75 dB |
Nighttime noise is estimated to be 5โ10 dB lower than daytime (reduced traffic, no industrial operations). Multiple sources are combined using logarithmic addition.
The Central Pollution Control Board classifies areas into 4 noise zones with specific limits:
| Zone | Day Limit | Night Limit | Typical Areas |
|---|---|---|---|
| Industrial | 75 dB | 70 dB | Factory areas, manufacturing hubs (Siltara, Urla) |
| Commercial | 65 dB | 55 dB | Markets, commercial zones (Pandri, Malviya Road) |
| Residential | 55 dB | 45 dB | Housing colonies, wards (Shankar Nagar, Tatibandh) |
| Silence | 50 dB | 40 dB | Near hospitals, schools, courts (within 100m) |
| Score Range | Rating | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| 80โ100 | Excellent | Very quiet, far from all noise sources โ ideal for families and health-conscious residents |
| 60โ79 | Good | Generally peaceful with minimal noise intrusion โ suitable for comfortable living |
| 40โ59 | Moderate | Some noise from traffic or industrial areas โ consider soundproofing improvements |
| 20โ39 | Below Average | Noticeable noise pollution โ may affect sleep quality and daily comfort |
| 0โ19 | Poor | High noise exposure โ health risks from prolonged exposure (stress, hearing, cardiovascular) |
The Sanitation Score measures the quality and coverage of sanitation infrastructure in an area, on a scale of 0 to 100. A higher score means better sewage treatment, drainage, waste collection, and open-defecation-free (ODF) compliance โ all critical for public health and livability.
| Parameter | Weight | How It's Scored |
|---|---|---|
| ODF Status | 20% | ODF++ = 100, ODF+ = 70, ODF = 40. Based on SBM Urban certification level. ODF++ means no open defecation plus solid & liquid waste management. |
| Sewage Treatment Coverage | 30% | Direct percentage value (0โ100%). Measures the proportion of area connected to sewage treatment plants (STPs). Higher coverage means less untreated sewage discharge. |
| Drainage Coverage | 25% | Direct percentage value (0โ100%). Measures the extent of paved/covered storm-water drains. Better drainage prevents waterlogging and disease vectors. |
| Waste Collection | 15% | Daily (2x) = 100, Daily = 80, Alternate Day = 50. Reflects frequency and reliability of door-to-door waste collection by the municipal body. |
| Sewage Disposal Method | 10% | Centralized STP = 100, STP Connected = 80, Septic Tank = 50, Open Drain = 10. Measures how responsibly sewage effluent is handled before discharge. |
The Swachh Bharat Mission Urban uses a three-tier ODF certification framework:
| Level | Criteria | Score |
|---|---|---|
| ODF++ | No open defecation + all sewage/septage safely treated + proper fecal sludge management | 100 |
| ODF+ | No open defecation + no untreated sewage/septage discharged into water bodies/open drains | 70 |
| ODF | No open defecation โ all households have access to toilets and use them | 40 |
| Score Range | Rating | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| 80โ100 | Excellent | Comprehensive sanitation coverage โ ODF++ certified, high sewage treatment, reliable waste collection |
| 60โ79 | Good | Good infrastructure with room for improvement โ most areas connected to STPs, daily waste collection |
| 40โ59 | Moderate | Basic sanitation in place but gaps in coverage โ some open drains, partial sewage treatment |
| 20โ39 | Below Average | Significant gaps in sanitation โ poor drainage, infrequent waste collection, septic-tank-dependent |
| 0โ19 | Poor | Severe sanitation deficits โ open defecation areas, untreated sewage discharge, disease risk |
The Flood Risk Score measures an area's vulnerability to river flooding and urban waterlogging. Lower score = safer area.
| Parameter | Weight | Description | Risk โ Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| River Flood Risk | 50% | Proximity to rivers (Kharun, Pairy, Seonath) and flood history | Low = 10, Low-Medium = 25, Medium = 40, High = 70, Very High = 85 |
