Google Search now supports air quality index for U.S. cities

According to the latest report, a Google search will show results for the U.S. Air Quality Index (AQI) ranging from 0 to 400 and above (also explained in colors ranging from green to purple). In addition to the numbers, the AQI will provide an explanation of whether the score is good or polluted.

Moreover, Google is always improving its search engine. Some of the latest developments we’ve witnessed over the past few months are Android‘s ability to delete the last 15 minutes of Google search history, continuous scrolling on mobile, Google multi-search capabilities in Lens, and more.

Google first released the feature in India (now also available in Victoria, Australia) and is now bringing it to its search service in the US with the help of airnow.gov and PurpleAir. Mobile and desktop web users can enter the U.S. city they want to search for, and the search will provide information about the specified location. 

Furthermore, users can enter “air quality in Boston” or “air quality in Brooklyn.” For example, as of this writing, Brooklyn has an AQI of 27, which is good for air quality.

On the other hand, given that the feature is now tailored for users in the US, users who live in the area can instantly gather air quality information about places around them by simply typing “air pollution near me.” All information will be placed on designated cards in Google Search.
