I have a big default for someone living in Beijing and being concerned about air pollution: I love outdoor and urban sports. Notably, I like inline skates, and lately I've been using them a lot to move around.

I know! It is not such a good idea! Most people would think that skating is dangerous, especially in Beijing traffic, but I am used to it now and I had less troubles on skates than on bicycle. I think the main problem is for my lungs, rolling along ring roads or next to construction works.

After the pollution peak we experienced yesterday, I decided to do something for my health. I've been to B&Q and finally bought a mask:
My construction mask and my inline skates
It is definitely ugly and might not be that efficient, but a little is better than nothing. At least, the few particles that this mask stops do not arrive in my mouth and my nose.

Would you be ready to wear one as well?
