3 Ways to Run in Air Pollution: 200+ AQI

Whether you live in a city with air pollution or just happen to be visiting one—running through all of the poor air quality can seem like a dangerous game to play. Questions I'll answer are: What are the health effects of air pollution? Is there a healthier way to run outside even the air quality index says it's unhealthy?

A 10 μg/m3 increase in PM2.5 was associated with a 0.40% increase in total non-accidental mortality, a 0.63% increase in mortality due to cardiovascular disease, and a 0.75% increase in mortality due to respiratory disease

Short exposures of aerodynamic diameters less than 10 and 2.5 µm (PM10 and PM2.5) are positively associated with increases in mortality due to non-accidental cause, cardiovascular disease and respiratory disease.

**MASKS**
---Note
In the video, I stated incorrectly that cloth masks only filter 30% of particulate matter. DISPOSABLE, non-woven masks (i.e. from a box) will filter 30%. N99/N95 will filter 80%+, but the BREATHABILITY is much poorer than the Nanofiber masks.

[2] The results indicate that nanofiber mask material can efficiently filter out the PM2.5 particles and simultaneously preserve a good breathability
