BBC News – Pollution alert system launched in Scotland.

According to this report we should all be prepared for pollution levels to continue to rise. We may be more aware of what pollutants are in the air but little has been done by government, at any level, to affect change. Is stopping exercising outdoors when levels are high the only solution on offer?

Until our air quality improves, wearing a mask while running or cycling is the most effective way to ensure a level of personal protection while continuing to do what you want in the great outdoors.
