With the air quality falling due to pollution, smog, and the smoke from all the crackers, it is imperative that we all take measures to make sure we don't fall ill and that our lungs don't suffer. There are a few things we can use on a personal level to save us a little bit from the polluted air around us. Although we can't completely isolate ourselves from the surrounding (unless we travel to the mountains for a while), here are a few things you can use to make sure you are a breathing in a little better air.
