Monitor real-time air quality in your area with Google Maps’ new AQI tracker. Get hourly updates, color-coded indicators, and make informed decisions to stay safe from pollution.
Google Maps has rolled out a new real-time Air Quality Index (AQI) tracker, enabling users in India and over 40 other countries to monitor live pollution levels. This innovative feature, updated hourly and presented with color-coded indicators, helps users make informed decisions about outdoor activities, commuting, and travel amid rising pollution concerns.
With cities like Delhi witnessing increasing air pollution, the launch of Google Maps’ AQI tracker comes as a timely tool for residents. Unlike before, when AQI readings appeared delayed, the latest update allows users to access live air quality information in real-time, ensuring they can plan their day safely and effectively.

Color-Coded AQI Display for Easy Understanding
Google Maps uses a simple color-coded system to make AQI readings easy to interpret. The scale ranges from 0 to 500, with lower numbers representing cleaner air:
-
0–50: Good (Green)
-
51–100: Satisfactory (Yellow)
-
101–200: Moderate (Orange)
-
201–300: Poor (Red)
-
301–400: Very Poor (Purple)
-
401–500: Critical (Maroon)
These visual indicators allow users to quickly assess whether it is safe to step outdoors or if they should limit exposure to polluted air.
