Depending on where you are and when it is, the air quality may be very different.

[{"selector":"#anim-e68f0ea6-13e4-4ff9-9945-94278e01535b","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4616e2f4-9ff5-4598-baf7-a82207ac93c3","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-115.2381%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-65b29e48-2ad3-47af-a9c8-97482057d489","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":400,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

If you're worried about your health, you might want to check the air quality before you go for a stroll.
