How to Check Your Air Quality Using Google Maps

You will be able to decide whether or not you want to spend the day outside with the assistance of a new tool that Google developed.

Google has created a tool that monitors the air quality in your area, and it is available for iOS and Android.

According to the company, the goal is to provide you with the information necessary to make an educated decision regarding whether you should plan on spending time indoors on a particular day or steer clear of a potential vacation destination due to wildfires or unusual smog, or whether you are safe to spend time outside.

The Air Quality Index (AQI), utilized by governmental bodies to keep the general public informed about the daily local pollution levels, will be indicated by Google’s new air quality tool when it becomes available.

The data displayed on Google Maps will originate from the Environmental Protection Agency and PurpleAir, a network of community scientists that gather data on the air quality in hyper-local areas and then share it with the general public.
