Higher Pollution Levels Linked to Slower Marathon Race Times
Original: Higher Pollution Levels Linked to Slower Race Times Across Six World Marathon Majors
A new study reports that higher air pollution levels are associated with slower finishing times across the six World Marathon Majors, including Boston, London, Berlin, Chicago, New York and Tokyo. The findings suggest poor air quality measurably affects elite and amateur runners' performance on race day, adding an environmental dimension to debates over race scheduling and urban air standards.
Why now: New research linking air quality to athletic performance in the world's most famous marathons has just been published.
