Causes for 2025 are estimates, based on what caused forest loss in the same places up to 2024.

These figures cover everything within 10 km of the city center, a wider area than the report above, because forest is usually lost at a city's edges.

Frequently asked

Questions about Abohar

What is the air quality (AQI) in Abohar right now?

The latest reading for Abohar shows an AQI of 515 (Hazardous), observed Nov 11, 03:30 local time via Open-Meteo / CAMS, corrected with 12 ground-station cities within 125 km, US EPA index. The main pollutant is PM2.5. Emergency conditions — avoid outdoor activity.

Is it safe to exercise outside in Abohar today?

At AQI 515 (Hazardous): everyone should avoid all outdoor exertion. Windows: keep them closed and seal gaps. Masks: wear an N95 if you must go out. The reading changes through the day, so check again before a long run or ride.

What has the air quality in Abohar been like this week?

Over the last 7 days, the CAMS air-quality model put Abohar's daily AQI at 220 on average, from 176 on Nov 8 to an hourly peak of 309 on Nov 10. On 7 of those days the average was above 100, unhealthy for sensitive groups.

Is Abohar's AQI the same as India's AQI (CPCB)?

No. Airleaf shows the US EPA Air Quality Index (AQI), the scale used by IQAir and most air-quality apps. India's Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) publishes the National Air Quality Index on its own scale: 0–50 good, 51–100 satisfactory, 101–200 moderate, 201–300 poor, 301–400 very poor and 401–500 severe. The two scales don't line up. At moderate fine-particle levels the US scale reads higher: 55 µg/m³ of PM2.5 is 149 on the US AQI but about 92, "satisfactory", on India's. In heavy smog India's reads higher: 100 µg/m³ is 182 on the US AQI and about 232, "poor", on India's. CPCB also averages particles over 24 hours, so its figure moves more slowly than an hourly reading.

How much forest has the area around Abohar lost since 2001?

There was very little forest around Abohar in 2000, about 14 hectares, and about 1 hectare of it has been lost since. Only fairly dense woodland counts as forest in these maps, so scattered street and garden trees don't show up here.

What is the tree count in Abohar?

Abohar has an estimated 28,274 trees across the 12.57 km² measured — 9.0% tree cover, 36 percentage points short of the 45% tree-cover target set for this area.

How many more trees does Abohar need?

Abohar needs roughly 113,097 more trees to close a 36-point shortfall against its 45% tree-cover target — about 2,488 t of extra CO₂ absorbed per year once grown.

How are Abohar's air quality and tree cover measured?

Air quality comes from ground monitoring stations via OpenAQ where one reports nearby, and otherwise, as here, from the Open-Meteo / CAMS model, which may differ from street-level monitors. Tree cover is measured from Sentinel-2 L2A (ESA Copernicus) via Earth Search satellite imagery at 10 m detail across a 2 km radius around Main Bazar; the tree count is an estimate derived from that cover.
