Resumo(s)
The life of 21st century has become more sedentary, which promotes higher prevalence of noncommunicable diseases; about one third of worldwide adult population is insufficiently active which
translates to 6% of global deaths. Furthermore, physical inactivity combined with unsuitable diet may
lead to increased obesity. In order to improve the overall health and well-being, various national and
international organizations recommend to practice physical exercise on regular basis. In cities, outdoor
exercising is the most common and accessible form of exercising. However, the respective benefits can
be reduced or even outweighed by the adverse effects of air pollution. Thus, this work aimed to evaluate
the influence of air pollution on human inhalation dose and deposition in respiratory tract while
conducting different types of physical exercise.
