When the Air's Polluted ...

... Avoid exercise in the afternoon

(HealthDayNews) -- On days when there's lots of air pollution, the American Lung Association advises you:

  • Avoid exercising at midday or in the afternoon.
  • Avoid congested streets and rush hour traffic.
  • Listen for air-quality reports. They're often given with local weather forecasts.
  • Watch the calendar. Ozone smog tends to be worse between May and October, and can be particularly dense during hot weather.
