It’s a known fact that air pollution can harm the human body, a thorough study has proven that air pollution can damage the lungs, heart, and to an extent brain too. It is estimated that outdoor air pollution causes more than 3M deaths worldwide each year.

In response, several cities have introduced policies aimed at reducing urban air pollution. However, as time is required to implement policies intended to improve air quality, a growing number of pedestrians and bicyclists are choosing to wear masks or other devices that claim to reduce the risks. Masks are an appropriate tool to beat air pollution, they immensely reduce the risk caused by air pollution.
Read on to find out what makes up air pollutants.

Air pollution is a combination of harmful particles and gases, these gases include ozone, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, etc. While gases can have harmful effects, research indicates that we should be most concerned about the negative health impacts of fine particles as well, specifically those under 2.5 microns in size.
So the question which bothers most of us is, “Are face masks ...
... effective in reducing or preventing air pollution exposure?”

Well for one, their ability to limit exposure depends upon the type of pollutant, the mask itself, and how it is used. Masks are designed to protect the user from inhaling harmful particulate matter. Among the many masks available, those known as “N95 respirators” give perfect protection against air pollution.

N95 masks are particularly effective in providing protection against particles smaller than 0.3 microns. Bacteria are usually larger but viruses and many fine particles in motor-vehicle emissions are smaller. Which can easily permeate the cotton mask.
Studies suggest that wearing a particle-filtering N95 mask can reduce the short-term exposure effects on the heart and blood vessels of exposure to urban air pollution.
