Is going for a run in the city dangerous?

While sporting, a person inhales a larger quantity of air and thus also more air pollution. Yet, the answer to whether sporting in the city is a good idea, is more complicated than this. Multiple studies show that the health benefits of excercising (sporting) are larger than the disadvantages  caused by air pollution. When you excercise in the city, try to avoid busy thoroughfares, but go for a jog in park areas or the roads with less (car) traffic. During smog episodes, (intesive) excercising in open air is not recommended.
