A member asked:

Can someone tell me how to cure problem of shortness of breath in car exhaust/ polluted air?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pollution: Stay out of air pollution or get yourself a ventilator. There is nothing you can do to yourself physiologically that will protect you from what you inhale.
