Historical parameter scores over the past 35 data points 15 Mar — 13 Jun 2026
| Parameter | Value | NAAQS Limit | Direction |
|---|---|---|---|
| AQI Satisfactory | 59 | 0–50 Good | Lower is better |
| Air Quality Index — a single number (0–500) summarizing overall air pollution. Computed from the worst-performing pollutant. AQI ≤50 is "Good"; above 200 is "Very Poor" and dangerous for sensitive groups. | |||
| PM2.5 | 20.95 µg/m³ | ≤40 µg/m³ (24hr) | Lower is better |
| Fine particulate matter (diameter <2.5 µm). 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 | 52.43 µg/m³ | ≤60 µg/m³ (24hr) | Lower is better |
| Coarse particulate matter (diameter <10 µm). 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. | |||
| NO₂ | 23.13 µg/m³ | ≤40 µg/m³ (annual) | Lower is better |
| Nitrogen Dioxide — reddish-brown gas from vehicle engines and power plants. Irritates airways, worsens asthma, and contributes to smog/acid rain formation. High NO₂ is a strong indicator of traffic-related pollution. | |||
| SO₂ | 9.28 µg/m³ | ≤50 µg/m³ (24hr) | Lower is better |
| Sulfur Dioxide — 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 | 0.31 mg/m³ | ≤2 mg/m³ (8hr) | Lower is better |
| Carbon Monoxide — 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. | |||
| O₃ | 45.92 µg/m³ | ≤100 µg/m³ (8hr) | Lower is better |
| Ground-level Ozone — unlike protective ozone in upper atmosphere, ground-level O₃ 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. | |||
| NH₃ | 11.70 µg/m³ | ≤400 µg/m³ (24hr) | Lower is better |
| Ammonia — a pungent gas from agricultural fertilizers, animal waste, sewage treatment, and some industrial processes. High concentrations irritate eyes, nose, and throat. Contributes to secondary PM2.5 formation through atmospheric reactions. | |||

| Parameter | Value | Ideal | Score | Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TDS Very Good | 462.55 ppm | ≤300 ppm | 75 /100 |
|
| Total Dissolved Solids — 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 | 7.24 | 6.5–8.5 | 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: 6.5–8.5. Closer to 7.0 is better | ||||
| Supply Extreme | 5.9 hrs/day | 24 hrs | 24 /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 | 0.853 mg/L | ≤1.0 mg/L | 100 /100 |
|
| Fluoride concentration in water. Small amounts (0.5–1.0 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 | ||||

| Parameter | What It Measures | Better Direction | BIS Standard |
|---|---|---|---|
| TDS | Total Dissolved Solids — dissolved minerals, salts & metals. High TDS causes salty/bitter taste and pipe scaling. | ↓ Lower | ≤500 ppm (acceptable) ≤2000 ppm (max) |
| pH Level | Acidity/alkalinity of water. Too acidic corrodes pipes; too alkaline causes scale buildup. Best at neutral 7.0. | ≈ Closer to 7.0 | 6.5–8.5 |
| Supply Hours | Hours of piped water per day. Intermittent supply draws contaminants into pipes and forces tank storage (bacterial growth). | ← Higher | 24 hrs (ideal) |
| Fluoride | Fluoride concentration. Small amounts prevent cavities; excess causes dental/skeletal fluorosis (bone damage). | ↓ Lower | ≤1.0 mg/L (safe) ≤1.5 mg/L (max) |
| Nitrate | NO₃⁻ from agricultural runoff & sewage. Excess causes "blue baby syndrome" in infants and long-term health risks. | ↓ Lower | ≤45 mg/L (as NO₃⁻) |
| Parameter | Value | Score | Benchmark | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ODF Status | ODF+ | 70 | ODF++ is best | 20% |
| Open Defecation Free certification. ODF means no open defecation. ODF+ adds solid/liquid waste management. ODF++ means all faecal sludge is safely managed and treated. | ||||
| Sewage Treatment Coverage | 40.00% | 40 | 100% ideal | 30% |
| Percentage of households connected to a Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) or decentralized treatment system. Higher coverage means less untreated sewage entering water bodies. | ||||
| Drainage Coverage | 50.00% | 50 | 100% ideal | 25% |
| Storm water and waste water drainage network coverage. Proper drainage prevents waterlogging, mosquito breeding, and disease outbreaks during monsoon. | ||||
| Waste Collection | Daily | 80 | Daily (2x) is best | 15% |
| Door-to-door waste collection frequency. Daily (2x) = twice daily collection. Daily = once daily. Alt. Day = alternate days. More frequent collection reduces open dumping and disease vectors. | ||||
| Sewage Disposal Method | Septic Tank | 50 | Centralized STP best | 10% |
| How sewage is treated. Centralized STP = large treatment plant serving the sector/city. STP Connected = individual ward connected to STP. Septic Tank = on-site treatment. Open Drain = untreated discharge (worst). | ||||
The sanitation score is a weighted average of 5 parameters:
Score = (ODF × 20%) + (Sewage Coverage × 30%) + (Drainage × 25%) + (Waste Collection × 15%) + (Disposal Method × 10%)
ODF = No open defecation · ODF+ = ODF + solid/liquid waste managed · ODF++ = All faecal sludge safely treated (gold standard under SBM)

Comparable to a busy restaurant or heavy traffic — may cause some annoyance.
Reasonably quiet — most people can sleep without issues.
The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) sets noise limits for different zone types. Here's how this area performs against the standards:
Distance to key noise sources from this location. Closer sources contribute more to noise levels.
| Source | Count (2 km) | Nearest (m) | Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| Major Highways
Motorways, trunk & primary roads (high traffic volume) |
3 | 1,749 | Low |
| Industrial Zones

— | 14.1 km | Low |
The Quiet Score (0–100) measures how quiet and peaceful this area is. A higher score means a quieter, more livable area. The score uses 5 parameters:
| Factor | Weight | Value | Contribution | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Highway Proximity | 40% | 1,749m | 35.0 | Farther from highways = less traffic noise = higher score |
| Industrial Proximity | 25% | 0m | 0.0 | Farther from factories = less industrial hum = higher score |
| Railway Proximity | 15% | 585m | 4.4 | Farther from tracks = less train noise = higher score |
| Highway Density | 10% | 3 roads | 7.0 | Fewer major roads nearby = less cumulative traffic noise |
| Industrial Density | 10% | 0 zones | 10.0 | Fewer industrial zones = quieter residential environment |
| Total Quiet Score | 100% | — | 52.3 | Higher score = quieter and more livable |
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 — 1000m and 3000m — 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).
Moderate greenery — mix of gardens, roadside trees, and scattered vegetation. Typical of well-planned residential areas.

Below Average Green Cover
Limited greenery in this area. The urban heat island effect is likely noticeable — 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 — 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 — it exceeded the BIS nitrate limit (45 mg/L as NO₃⁻ = 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 (0–500) 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 – 50 | Good | Minimal impact |
| 51 – 100 | Satisfactory | Minor breathing discomfort to sensitive people |
| 101 – 200 | Moderate | Breathing discomfort to people with lung/heart disease |
| 201 – 300 | Poor | Breathing discomfort on prolonged exposure |
| 301 – 400 | Very Poor | Respiratory illness on prolonged exposure |
| 401 – 500 | Severe | Affects healthy people; serious impact on those with existing diseases |
Each pollutant's sub-index is calculated using linear interpolation:
Ip = ( (IHi − ILo) / (BPHi − BPLo) ) × (Cp − BPLo) + ILo

ee.Image.normalizedDifference(['B5', 'B4']) — 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 — 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, ≥2000m = 100 points. Linear interpolation. |
| Industrial Proximity | 25% | Distance to nearest industrial zone. 0m = 0 points, ≥2000m = 100 points. Linear interpolation. |
| Railway Proximity | 15% | Distance to nearest rail/light rail track. 0m = 0 points, ≥2000m = 100 points. |
| Highway Density | 10% | Count of major roads within 2km. 0 roads = 100 points, ≥10 roads = 0 points. |
| Industrial Density | 10% | Count of industrial zones within 2km. 0 zones = 100 points, ≥5 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 | — | 81 dB | 75 dB |
Nighttime noise is estimated to be 5–10 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 |
|---|---|---|
| 80–100 | Excellent | Very quiet, far from all noise sources — ideal for families and health-conscious residents |
| 60–79 | Good | Generally peaceful with minimal noise intrusion — suitable for comfortable living |
| 40–59 | Moderate | Some noise from traffic or industrial areas — consider soundproofing improvements |
| 20–39 | Below Average | Noticeable noise pollution — may affect sleep quality and daily comfort |
| 0–19 | Poor | High noise exposure — 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 — 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 (0–100%). Measures the proportion of area connected to sewage treatment plants (STPs). Higher coverage means less untreated sewage discharge. |
| Drainage Coverage | 25% | Direct percentage value (0–100%). 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 — all households have access to toilets and use them | 40 |
| Score Range | Rating | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| 80–100 | Excellent | Comprehensive sanitation coverage — ODF++ certified, high sewage treatment, reliable waste collection |
| 60–79 | Good | Good infrastructure with room for improvement — most areas connected to STPs, daily waste collection |
| 40–59 | Moderate | Basic sanitation in place but gaps in coverage — some open drains, partial sewage treatment |
| 20–39 | Below Average | Significant gaps in sanitation — poor drainage, infrequent waste collection, septic-tank-dependent |
| 0–19 | Poor | Severe sanitation deficits — 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 → Score |

Score = Weighted average of available parameters (NULL values excluded)
The Safety Score evaluates the availability and proximity of emergency services — police, fire, hospitals, and pharmacies — within an area. Scored on a 0–100 scale (higher = safer / better covered).
Each sub-score is normalised to 0–100 using count and proximity scoring with distance-based decay. This is a special experimental parameter not included in the composite livability score.
| Sub-Score | Weight | How It's Scored | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| Police Presence | 20% |
|
Binary presence check: scores 100 if any police station exists nearby (OSM or Google data), 0 otherwise. |
| Fire Station Response | 15% |
|
Binary presence check: scores 100 if any fire station exists nearby (OSM or Google Maps data), 0 otherwise. |
| Hospital Access | 35% |
|
Includes hospitals and clinics from Google Maps data. Highest weighted sub-score because healthcare proximity is critical. |
| Pharmacy & First Aid | 15% |
|
Minimum service check capped at 2. Pharmacies provide first-line medical access. |
| Emergency Coverage | 15% |
|
Binary check: does the area have at least one of each emergency service type? Max 100 if all four present. |
| Score Range | Rating | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 80 – 100 | Excellent | Comprehensive emergency coverage with nearby services |
| 60 – 79 | Good | Good emergency access with minor gaps |
| 40 – 59 | Moderate | Partial coverage — some services distant or absent |
| 0 – 39 | Poor | Limited emergency infrastructure — significant gaps |
Google Maps Places API + OpenStreetMap
Emergency services data is sourced from Google Maps Places API (police stations, fire stations, hospitals, clinics, pharmacies) enriched with OpenStreetMap amenity data. Distance calculations use the Haversine formula from each area's centroid to the nearest service locations.
