What has the air quality in Kedarnath, India been like this week?
Over the last 7 days, the CAMS air-quality model put Kedarnath, India's daily AQI at 21 on average, from 17 on Nov 10 to an hourly peak of 49 on Nov 8. No day averaged above 100, the level where the air turns unhealthy for sensitive groups.
Is Kedarnath, India'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.
What is the tree count in Kedarnath, India?
Kedarnath, India has an estimated 2,297 trees across the 7.07 km² measured — 1.3% tree cover, 29 percentage points short of the 30% tree-cover target set for this area.
How many more trees does Kedarnath, India need?

How are Kedarnath, India'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 1.5 km radius around Kedarnath; the tree count is an estimate derived from that cover.
