It's not that strange, the fact that fear (bias towards inaction) and hope (bias towards action) seem slanted towards fear was commented on by Machiavelli. He explained that the most people, when confronted with uncertainty, will choose to do nothing. TBH, I don't think that most people go out for runs because they've weighed the air pollution against the health benefits of exercise, I think they do it because they feel like running and it doesn't reach the point of an executive-function thinking-about-the-pros-and-cons decision. The inflammation thing is probably true. Here's a random study. Don't do anything that keeps you in a constant state of injury! https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3390758/ |
