On a Poor day like today
The biggest difference comes from breathing in less of it: a fitted N95 outside, and windows shut at the worst hours. LungsPure, one spoon at night, supports your lungs through the season alongside those steps, never instead of them.

About Kota's air
- Kota is a non-attainment city (one whose air has stayed worse than the national standard), with its own action plan to control PM10 and PM2.5.
- In the government's Swachh Vayu Survekshan 2025 clean-air ranking, it placed 37th among cities with more than 10 lakh people.
- The city's action plan names road dust, vehicles, construction and demolition, and industry as the main sources of air pollution.
- Particle levels run highest in the summer months, and in winter when a layer of warm air traps cold, polluted air near the ground (thermal inversion).
- CPCB told the National Green Tribunal in 2025 that IIT Jodhpur is carrying out Kota's source study.

Where Kota's air is measured
Kota, Rajasthan, has 3 continuous government monitors reporting to the Central Pollution Control Board. The reading above is the middle value across all of them that reported in the last six hours, and the range shows how much it varies across the city.
- Nayapura
- Shrinath Puram
- Dhanmandi
The monitors are run by the Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board.
Nearest other cities with official monitors: Bundi (36 km), Baran (63 km), Jhalawar (72 km), Sawai Madhopur (109 km). Distances are straight-line, between the cities' monitors.
What Kota's number means
India's air quality index runs from 0 to 500. It is worked out from 24-hour averages of the main pollutants, and the worst one sets the number. In most Indian cities that is fine dust, PM2.5 or PM10.
Bands and wording follow the Central Pollution Control Board's national air quality index.
Why an app may show a different number
- Different scale. Many apps use the US index, which treats the same fine dust as worse. We lead with the Indian index and show the US figure beside it.
- One monitor or many. Kota can have several government monitors, and a roadside one reads higher than one in a park. We show the middle reading and the range across the city.
- Hourly or daily. The official index uses 24-hour averages, so it moves more slowly than an app that shows the last hour.
On a poor air day
- Check the reading before an outdoor run or walk, and move it indoors or to a cleaner hour.
- Keep windows shut during the worst hours, often late evening and early morning when the air is still.
- Wear a well-fitted N95 mask in traffic or outdoors when the band is Poor or worse.
- Run an air purifier in the room you sleep in, if you have one.
- If you have a lung or heart condition, follow your doctor's advice for high-pollution days.
Common questions
What is a good air quality index in Kota?
On India's scale, 0 to 50 is Good and 51 to 100 is Satisfactory. From 101 the air starts to affect sensitive people, and from 201 most people feel it after long exposure.
How often is Kota's reading updated?
Every hour. The Central Pollution Control Board publishes readings from its continuous monitors, and this page shows the latest one.
Why do readings vary across Kota?
Each monitor measures the air around it, so busy roads, construction and industry read higher than quieter areas. That is why we show the middle reading of all live monitors along with the range.
Does LungsPure change the air quality?
No. Nothing you take changes the air you breathe. LungsPure is an Ayurvedic avaleha taken once a night to support your lungs. It does not replace masks, purifiers or your doctor's advice.
