Protect Yourself from Air Pollution During Physical Activity

How can I protect myself from air pollution during physical activity?

When air quality is poor, adjust your physical activity routine to avoid breathing in too much air pollution:

• Move your physical activities indoors
• Change your physical activity to something less intense (for example, walking instead of jogging)
• Shorten the amount of time that you’re physically active

If you have asthma, be sure to keep your inhaler with you at all times – especially when you’re outside.
