Clearing the air
Rain might ruin a picnic, but when it comes to air pollution, it can actually be a really good thing. This is because, on rainy days, most of the common air pollutants and pollen in the air are washed away, helping to increase the quality of the air. This phenomenon is called Wet deposition.
To be more scientific: ‘Wet deposition’ refers to the natural processes by which material is removed (‘scavenged’) by atmospheric hydrometeors (cloud and fog drops, rain, snow ) and delivered to the Earth’s surface. A number of different terms are used more or less synonymously to describe this phenomenon—such as ‘precipitation scavenging’, ‘wet removal’, ‘washout’, and ‘rainout’.
As a result, getting your steps in on days that are gray and cold can be especially important, especially considering the importance of exercise for mental and physical health.
