Exercising outdoors? Air pollution has 'troubling' effect on COVID-19

With gyms closed during the coronavirus pandemic, many Americans are getting their exercise outdoors. Now there’s both good and bad news about the amount of unhealthy air they may be breathing in.

First, the concerning findings.

Almost half of the nation’s population is surrounded by polluted air, according to the American Lung Association’s 2020 State of the Air report, released on Tuesday. That amounts to 150 million people, or almost 9 million more compared to last year’s report.

The analysis comes on the heels of a Harvard University study that found COVID-19 patients who live in places with high levels of air pollution are more likely to die from the disease than people who reside in areas with cleaner air.

Supposedly with the shutdowns there is less smog.
