Available ambient air quality monitoring data for Delhi

• cpcb_delhi_data_2006-2018-raw-cleaned.rar - This is CPCB data from 2006 to 2018 as raw and cleaned files. Raw data is at 15 min internals, which needs some qa/qc checks before use. The cleaned data is hourly. For data cleaning, all null points, all negative points, integer values equal to 9999, 999, 1985, 985, 915, 515, 1200, 1000, 2000, 380, 3800, 675, and 718 were excluded. These values were recognized after searching the raw data for patterns. Instances of sudden jumps, which occur due to malfunctioning of instruments were recognized using running means. 
• 1999-2006-CPCB ITO-Hourly.xlsx - This is hourly data from the ITO station only
• NAMP data for 2011 to 2015 is hosted here - https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.6925200
