Would a mask help during the damper months?
Or would it be counterproductive if it ends up capturing it on mask? I have no experience in this, but during the post-covid time, by wearing a mask(even a cloth one) I noticed a lot of the stuff that’s in our air, from vehicle smoke to dust from construction work.

Have you talked about this on Chapo or Asklemmy? Maybe you can get some ideas and then look into experts on it?

Have heard about reddit threads suggesting solutions for issues and I do think it’s mostly hopium and copium, but using it as a starting point rather than pro advice maybe ok?
