The pollution problem in China is so severe that 1.6 million people in the country die each year because of air pollution. So that’s why you see many people in the country donning smog masks when they go out in public.
Runners can be particularly impacted by pollution in China. But now, they have a stylish new accessory to go with the rest of their running gear.
