Air quality data in maps?

mallo

I and others would love to see live and forecasted air quality data included in the maps. Of most immediate concern is PM 2.5 fine particulate matter ("fine dust"), a very serious and daily health concern in many of the most highly populated areas of the world, and then also climate change-related data.

The data itself seems plentiful and easy enough to gather, for example through aqicn.org.

Here's their data api, free to use.

This is great idea. But we need raw data (since amount of our visitors would kill their API instantly). @TomSlavkovsky we will contact them.
