Google Maps for Android, iOS adds an air quality layer in collaboration with PurpleAir and the EPA.

If the air was marked ‘Unhealthy’, the badge in the top right corner of the screen would turn red and alert the user. One could also say “Hey Google, what’s the air quality near me” to get this information. Now, the company has announced that this same feature is making its way to Google Maps on Android and iOS!Last year, Google introduced an ‘Air Quality Information’ or AQI on Nest Hub devices, allowing users to see whether or not the air they’re breathing in from around them is of high or low quality. This took EPA measurement data on the level of pollution in the air and reported it in a visual format for anyone to easily understand in their homes.
