Before last Wednesday, Lizzie Stoldt, a 27-year-old Manhattan publicist, had barely given a thought to New York City’s air quality.

AirNow, an app run by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, gained 7.8 million new users last week — 1.7 million of them were from New York City, according to a report.
