What steps would you follow to minimize the effect of pollution on performance?

Step 1 of 2

Air pollution results from several human activities, most common one is combustion of fossil fuels.

The effect of the pollutants depend on the amount of dose received, which in turn depend on the concentration of the pollutant, the duration of exposure, and the volume of the air inhaled.
