Like every year, air quality in most Indian cities deteriorated after Diwali celebrations due to the use of firecrackers. While the country continues to recover from the air pollution, Google India took to Twitter to share a handy way to help users stay informed of the air quality in their area.
“Find real-time information about the air quality in your area on Google Search, so you can take care of yourself and those you love. Search for ‘air quality near me’,” wrote Google India on Twitter. To check air quality near your location, you can use this direct link to access the Google Search results page containing air quality data of your area.
Google sources air quality data for search results from the Central Pollution Control Board of India. The tool shows the last updated time and the level of impact on the air quality in your area. If you’re interested in browsing the air quality of regions across the country, you could also consider directly visiting CPCB’s official National Air Quality Index page right here. Moreover, almost all the best weather apps will show you the air quality in your region.
