AQI is the most important thing in common people life. It effectively our health through air.
Air is essential for living creature and human need fresh
and
nascent air. Earth is the only planet where air is available for human adoption so by updating it or posting it on map
it help people to aware about this. It also gives help yo reduce carbon emissions on local area.
So kindly I requested yo to ple add AQI option in map.

Hi @RaviSharma111
On this page:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/air-quality/coverage
You can find information about which countries and regions are currently covered with air quality data.
So if this is not available where you live, there are two reasons you may need to consider. Are the local data on air quality good enough, are the data owners willing to share them on Google Maps, or could there be some political reasons why Google can not or will not add them on Google Maps.
If you want to make a difference in this, please consider reaching out to the data owners in your country and suggest they start sharing their live data with Google Maps.
All the best

@MortenCopenhagen
For your Honest reply.
India that is Bharat is cover under AQI Showing in Google map. Today we are Concerning about health and Air is most important things to be survive on earth.
Bharat is showing increament in AQI even in some City like Delhi and Patna it Became at Hazardous level. My concern is to show AQI on map is for people well being.
Asthama patiens and lungs related patient are feel discomfort in High (Bad) AQI.
I will try to reach out Local data center to share their information with google map. But i donβt know how to Approach them. They Data collection Agencies are Government funned so i donβt think they will entertain me.
Please suggest what can I do to post data of AQI to map at my level.
Again
Thank you so much for your honest reply and i am tracing your work you have done on google map it is amazing and wonderful.
I understand your doubts, @RaviSharma111 .
First I would build and refine the arguments. Find data on use of Google Maps in India, number of people with respiratory issues, current views on the available data, and make extrapolations on how many people will benefit from better access to the data. You could also review political parties policies on air pollution and health. All to get a stronger line of arguments.
Then I would simply write to the head of the relevant government office, attach most of your arguments and request a meeting.
If unanswered or denied, I would reach out to relevant NGOs and ask for their advice and help. They are likely experienced with doing effective lobbying work. It might be nessesary to involve media to amp up the pressure.
That is how I would approach the project.
You could also try to predict what the counter arguments will be and have answers ready for each of them.
This is how Democracy works in my part of the world. It might be very different in other places, so please be safe.
Cheers
