Having been back on the bike for the last two weeks, and despite spending this entire week getting soaked in the constant heavy rain on each trip in and out of the city, I decided to grab a new filter for my Respro bike mask. It's a facemask that contains a filter and basically goes over your nose n mouth to filter all the pollution of the cars, trucks, vans n buses when riding through the city streets. It's also doubled as a face warmer through the last month and a bit since I got it.
For anyone who doubts the effectiveness of these things, well, here you can see the old filter and the brand new one side by side...

Hi,
Just found your blog about London pollution and thought that's interesting. Is that filthy filter only used for two weeks? I am working on air pollution analysis project and see if you can provide the filter for us to identify the major pollution particle. If you can help, please email to leepf@colorado.edu and we will be willing to pay all the cost.
Thanks!
