New York, NY (September 12, 2002) -- As environmentalists have pointed out, it can be as dangerous to be outdoors behind a city bus -- walking, or bicycling -- as it is to be in front of one. All the exhaust and smoke -- even when they have been reduced by "clean air technology" -- can damage a person's health. The dangers of urban air pollution are of special concern to people who exercise by running, bicycling, or skating: these people, while trying to help their bodies through exercise, should take care that they don't harm them through exposure to air pollution.Dr. Joseph T. Cooke, Associate Professor of Clinical Medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College -- and Associate Director of Medical Critical Care at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital's Weill Cornell Medical Center -- says that air pollution is definitely a problem for those who work out in the city. "The main culprits are ozone, fine particulate matter, and carbon monoxide," he says. "These pollutants irritate the lungs and respiratory system, and can exacerbate the problems of persons with underlying disease -- whether respiratory disease such as asthma, bronchitis, or emphysema, or cardiopulmonary maladies."
