Do you wear a pollution mask for cycling?

What do you reckon is the cheapest / easiest solution? I know you can get disposable surgical mask type ones, are they any good though?

Have you used them? What kind? The kind in the OP pic?

I just hate the idea of being exposed to all sorts of crap in the air. Would be great to just filter it out.

They only filter dust particles though, they won't filter VOCs or carbon monoxide and stuff like that. Unless you cycle in heavy traffic, there is really no point in using one.
If any of your neighbors use wood-burning stoves, the air on the street is probably better than the one in your backyard or your room right now.

That's like the one in the OP pic right?

Is it comfortable? I've heard they can be uncomfortable, and also can be sweaty inside. Do you think it does a good job of filtering too? I know that the filter pads often appear black after use so clearly some stuff is being filtered.

Also out of interest have you ever tried cheap disposable masks like pic related? Probably nowhere near as good, but they're cheap.

Particulates is what I want to get rid of, all that shit that gets spewed out by cars, buses, whatever. I live just next to a main road and I have to cycle that main road to get anywhere. In the evenings it is full of traffic, cars and buses, and there's definitely a lot of fumes. Also I used to live in London and if I ever go back there, the air is particularly shit there.

And no I don't think any of my neighbours use wood-burning stoves. Sometimes there are bonfires in the vicinity but it's rare. Compared to daily exposure to noxious fumes from cars and buses.

Screw people who still burn wood in 2020. LPG/Natural Gas are cheap and plentiful, and don't make the air out on the street bad.
If you burn wood, you better live far away from other people where they don't have to inhale your smoke, i.e. somewhere where you might have a property where you can collect your own firewood.

Comfortable, but I tend to tolerate discomfort.
It gets sweaty like your clothes get sweaty, why shouldn't it? The valves should let out humid air when you breathe out.
It needs to be readjusted to maintain seal.
Did not try the disposable- not reusable, bad seal, bad airflow, ear straps are irritating.

The ones in your pic, you still breathe air through the gaps around the mask, so they do basically nothing. They're mainly to stop flying spit particles from entering the wearer's mouth or vice versa for medical/dental stuff. They don't filter air at all.

disposable surgical mask don't do any air or air particle filtering.
They are meant as a physical barrier for talking spit etc. off surgeons to protect the patient. Vice versa they should protect the surgeons from splashing contaminated liquids from the patient.

If you want particle filtering you need a mask with an actual seal to the skin to prevent air leakage. See breathing masks for construction work/grinding/sanding.

I don't know how well Respro type masks seal. Looks more like a fashion gimmick than a certified particle filter to me.

An effective particle filter would restrict breathing and provoke sweating which is the opposite of what you want on a bike.

Yeah that's like I just said to the guy who mentioned 3M filters. Things like that are probably not designed for use during physical exertion, where you need to breathe much more air, more quickly.

>Looks more like a fashion gimmick
Respros seem to have good reviews from cycling publications. The only problem is that, in my view, they're fucking expensive for what they are.

Why do you say that? I'm going to guess you've never lived in a place with truly shitty air quality, like London. I mean London isn't even that bad compared to somewhere like China obviously. But London's air is definitely not great. You definitely notice it when you're there. There's just so much fucking traffic, everywhere, so densely packed in.

Also I don't know HOW effective air filters are, but I've seen lots of people say that the filters become black quite quickly, which means that's stuff that it stopped you from breathing in. So they clearly have SOME effect.

My only issue is that Respros seem to be pretty expensive for what they are. I wish there was a cheaper option. Like even cheap disposable ones or something.

Those masks are meant to simulate high altitudes, where the air is thinner.

Many of the most famous bike races (like the Tour de France) go over mountains, where the air is very thin. So pro cyclists have to train at altitude in order to prepare their bodies for being able to cycle in a low oxygen environment.

The mask allows you to simulate a low oxygen environment without having to travel to a mountainous area.

So no, you shouldn't have a heart attack, as long as you know what you're doing, and you don't try and push yourself too hard when your oxygen is limited (this is just as true whether you're at altitude, or wearing the mask). But obviously these masks are only intended for pro cyclists and dedicated amateurs who are trying to train for races at altitude. For most normal people, there is no reason at all to buy a low-oxygen mask.

Burning wood releases the co2 that's been captured by the tree while it was growing. As long as you plant new trees to replace the ones you're burning it's carbon neutral. And trees grow really fast on the grand scale of things. It'll take a few decades for a tree to grow up to a decent size.

Compare that to burning pretty much anything else and you're talking about releasing co2 that was captured by plants ages ago and there's no way to recapture it after releasing it, other than planting entirely new forests.

>>1448175
>>1447993
Artificially restricting your airflow during training is retarded. A lot of the current research shows that optimal results of altitude training come by training low and resting high. It's much more useful to have an altitude tent you sleep in than a meme mask you train with.

Not exactly fast enough is it? Let's say a 10 year old tree has enough firewood for, I dunno, 5 families to heat their homes during a single winter? I'm completely guessing but it's not going to be huge. Then we have to wait another 10 YEARS to get that tiny amount of fuel back. I think there's a reason why wood is not a major fuel anymore.

Fossil fuels are obviously unsustainable, but they are ridiculously ENERGY DENSE, which is why humans started using them.

Out of curiosity I've compared air in London with my city. Guess what? London has twice as good air on regular basis.
It's getting black, because YOU breath and that generates moisture, which affects the filter regardless of what's in the air. You could be in the middle of a primeval forest and the exact same shit would happen.
All in all, you've simply proved my point: idiots fall for this shit and think it will help them. It's the equivalent of Asians wearing surgeon's mask - they protect shit, but they want to believe it helps, rather than make things worse. The difference between them and you is that they are spending pocket change on entire pack of those, while you are probably going to spend quarter of your salary on useless gimmick.

How many homes do you reckon one single tree can heat for one single winter? I guessed five before, that was a total guess, but even if it was 100, that's still a TINY number of households compared to the population at large. And that tree takes, according to you, 20 - 30 years to re-grow.

So for my country, the UK, which has a population of around 66 million - if one single tree was enough to heat 100 homes for one winter, then you'd need to fell 660,000 trees in a winter for the whole country... and you'd have to wait 20 to 30 years before those trees grew back. That isn't sustainable.

I never said fossil fuels are sustainable. But the reason fossil fuels became popular with humans is because they're so ENERGY DENSE.

I think we should use nuclear for the future, supplemented with solar, wind, hydroelectric, stuff like that. Solar and wind are getting very good, and very cheap. But they have peaks and troughs in terms of generation (it's not always sunny, and it's not always windy). So we might additionally need a dependable, steady source of energy which is always there. That's what nuclear can be. And of course nuclear is zero-carbon, along with solar, wind, and hydro.

All in all, you can regrow trees within a human lifespan. Thrice. Which is why it's routinely listed as renewable and sustainable source of organic matter and fuel. Considering it has no inprint to it (since you end up cycling the exact same carbon), it's still better than gas, which is essentially releasing carbon that got captured geologically half a billion years ago.
So when you are heating a single household (which is the case of this discussion), wood wins by large margain over any other fuel

Sorry mate I'm not convinced of the wood solution, especially since one single tree only provides enough firewood for only a handful of homes for a single winter. It's not sustainable. Besides, we need trees creating oxygen in order to breathe. Best leave them be.

Future fuel sources should, in my view, be: wind, solar, hydroelectrical, geothermal, and if needed, nuclear (nuclear of course makes nuclear waste, but we can deal with that; it is zero-carbon as far as I'm aware, and it can supply energy when wind and solar can't, i.e. at night when it's not sunny, and there's no wind).

Also I have no idea why we're having an energy discussion on /n/. The topic was supposed to be about pollution masks to help you keep out pollutants from the air you breathe when you're cycling (or taking any other form of transportation I guess, although obviously active ones like cycling and running require much more air to be moved through the mask).

There's this faggot nigger at my gym that wears one of these while walking around a lot, not doing much. I hate working out at night when the freaks come out.

Been coming to 4chan for over 10 years, probably 12 at least.

Recently I've been seeing schizo posting, both that example just there, and on /his/ as well.

By which I mean random posts full of gibberish that's only tenuously related to the thread subject. It's weird.

I get what you mean, but Bacon is not one of those. His posts make a lot of sense if you read them carefully, they're often insightful and just plain beautiful, he just has a weird way of writing because of some brain thing.
Not to be confused with our temporary resident /pol/sperg lurking in the urban planning threads

Ah fair enough. In which case apologies. Should probably be more sympathetic.

>>1449170
Lungs shouldn't be the filter though man. It's bad to breathe in noxious fumes. Ideally you want to keep out as much of that stuff as you can.

Actually, it's still probably trucked cross country, may have been artificially dried, and there was some processing required. Not totally neutral, unless you grow your own wood and food, but sustainable.

Anyway OP try out a disposable N95 or something

I get my own firewood from the forest that starts from my backyard, move and split it by hand, and dry it out naturally over a few years.

I used to live in China, and used 3M 9042V masks everyday. They are reasonably cheap and efficient provided you take care to seal up the nose area well. Surgical masks are pretty useless for pollution protection by design

>I just hate the idea of being exposed to all sorts of crap in the air.
You're actually exposed to less pollution on a bike than you are in a car. On a bike, the shit goes out the cars' tailpipes and gets diffused through the air well before most of it gets to you. In a car, the shit from other cars' tailpipes gets sucked directly into your air intake and pumped into your cabin; the filters get rid of some larger particles but all the noxious gasses and smaller particles are actually at a greater concentration inside a car than they are when you just stand a couple feet behind a car in the open as (As when you're on a bike).

tl;dr - You have no reason to be concerned. The air you're breathing on your bike is far cleaner than the cabin air inside a car, even without any kind of breathing filter.

If you don't wear a mask while inside a car then you don't need to wear a mask when you're on a bike.
