Where things stand
Fine-particle air pollution contributes to cardiovascular and respiratory disease and premature death. Reducing exposure is therefore a health-protection issue with substantial population-level evidence. The benefit of a specific personal measure, such as a device or a change in routine, still depends on actual exposure reduction and should not be inferred solely from a general pollution statistic.
