AirPop offers cyclists unparalleled levels of protection

Mar 31, 2021

Our streets aren't just full of things you can see, it's the invisible stuff that is the biggest danger


For most cities and towns gone are the days of heavy smog covering the roads making it impossible to see. But the sad reality is that pollution layers do cover most cities and larger towns ensuring that the inhabitants are constantly bombarded with micro particles that end up being breathed into their lungs. Their are undisputed links between chronic respiratory conditions such as asthma and lung disease, affecting all ages, in cities than out in the countryside. Our exposure to these 2.5 PMS particles has a major bearing on our long term health.

Air Pollution constantly circulates

Come night or day, rain or sun, the constant hustle and bustle of our cities naturally means that particulates are being thrown around by natural and man made activities. Whether it's the wind blowing dust, pollen and pollution up into your path or speeding traffic pumping out and churning up pollutions it makes sense to ensure that you are protecting yourself against these threats.


Vehicles just keep pumping out particulates



Vehicles are a major polluters of our streets. Yes, diesel and petrol engines contribute significantly to the volume of particulate matter in the air. Even electric vehicles, CO2 and NO2 free, as well as combustion engines throw of tiny particulates from their tyres and churn up previously produced pollution.


Many metropolitan areas dissuade drivers to drive but the numbers are still high. Public transport is slowly moving with the times to less polluting vehicles but the technology is not there, nor the budgets to replace all infrastructure with electric and non-polluting vehicles. Any which way you look at it pollutants are there.

By Anna Gallagher • 07 Jun, 2021
Now that the Covid vaccine is being rolled out for adults across the world, there has also been talk of the possibility of a mandatory vaccine for children. This is due to growing concern about the outbreaks of Covid-19 in babies and children, particularly in Brazil. According to a recent article in NBC News , over two thousand deaths have been reported in children in Brazil. It’s also becoming apparent that children may not be at zero-risk of Covid-19, which has been a common misconception.

Covid: redefining airborne transmissions

By Anna Gallagher • 17 May, 2021
During the pandemic, certain safety measures have been put in place all over the world to prevent the spread of Covid-19. These have included social distancing and the encouragement of face coverings and other forms of PPE. Recently Scientists have warned that the current protocols may need updating, however. According to a report by The Lancet , Covid has been shown to be predominantly airborne. This means it’s possible for it to be spread via airborne transmission, and we need to take extra precautions to avoid this.Airborne transmissions occur when an individual inhales aerosols produced when an infected person exhales, speaks, sneezes or coughs. According to The Lancet report, there are particles of the coronavirus disease in the air, or aerosols. These have been given different names throughout the pandemic such as droplets or droplet nuclei, but they are all essentially aerosols that can be inhaled, regardless of size or distance. These can even enter ventilation filters and air ducts.
