You can already see this on air quality maps and such anyway. People just don't care.
I think people probably care quite a lot, actually. What're you basing that statement off of?
That this information is already readily available to the masses, and it hasn't changed anyone's behavior. It certainly appears that most people don't care.
I mean, it might seem that way but evidence suggests otherwise: https://www.undp.org/press-releases/worlds-largest-survey-public-opinion-climate-change-majority-people-call-wide-ranging-action
This is more likely evidence of the lack of awareness people have of data like this, rather than a disinterest in the topic. Just because it's readily available, doesn't mean people know about it. Also, don't confuse a lack of interest in viewing data on air quality as a lack of interest in air quality itself. Those are not the same thing.
