I'm running over the Williamsburg Bridge, in New York City.
It connects Brooklyn to downtown Manhattan.
It’s one of my favorite places to run—cause the views are great.
Until you look at all the taxis and trucks spewing exhaust.
Always makes me wonder—is all that pollution essentially undoing any health boost I'm getting from the run?
A new study of more than 50,000 Danish adults suggests I might be ok.
Of course, being Denmark, more than two-thirds of them regularly rode a bike—and half played sports.
As you might expect, both activities lowered the Danes' risk of death during the 17-year study period.
But that effect held true even for the Danes exercising in the most polluted parts of Copenhagen
suggesting that the short-term heavy intake of pollutants during exercise is just a small proportion of their overall exposure to pollution,
and thus, does not diminish the benefits of exercise.
The results are in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives.
Of course, Copenhagen has pretty clean air, even by European standards.
So these results might not translate to, say, Beijing.
And the researchers still advise exercising in green spaces, parks, and other road-free areas if possible.
But hey, I'd have to head all the way to midtown Manhattan for that.
参考译文
我正沿着纽约市威廉斯堡大桥跑步。
这座桥连接着布鲁克林和曼哈顿市中心。
这是我最喜欢的跑步场所，因为风景很美。
直到你亲眼目睹出租车和卡车喷出尾气严重污染空气。
我总是对此怀疑，跑步得到益处是不是都因为空气污染而毁于一旦?
5万多名丹麦成年人参与的一项研究表明我的健康可能并无大碍。
当然，在那个国家，超过三分之二的丹麦人通常都骑车出行，而且有一半人民都喜爱运动。
如你所见，在这项历时17年的研究中上述两个因素都大大降低了丹麦人的死亡风险。
但是，在污染最为严重的哥本哈根市进行户外锻炼的丹麦人也得出了同样的结论。
研究表明短时间内重度污染物的吸入只是环境整体污染的一小部分，
因而不会降低锻炼的益处。
这项研究已经在《环境与健康展望》杂志上发表。
当然，即使按照欧洲标准，哥本哈根空气可是相当好啊。
因此某首都城市可能并不适用于该研究结果。
研究人员仍然建议人们如果条件允许就在绿地、公园或者其他大路上锻炼。
但要是这样的话，我就得一直跑到曼哈顿中城区去!
