What affects air quality for runners in Mumbai
Mumbai's air quality reflects dense transport demand, construction activity, and a coastal climate that can change dispersion rapidly. Road traffic and diesel freight remain major urban contributors, particularly around expressways and commercial hubs. Local exposure often differs between sea-facing neighborhoods and inland corridors where pollutants can accumulate during busy periods.
