Question: Does rain clean the pollution out of the air?
I live in a big city with lots of air pollution. I love to run outdoors, but often times the pollution makes my throat and lungs hurt. It has been raining today, so will the rain clean the air out so I can run afterwards?

Is air pollution in the air reduced after it rains? If so, anybody know how long it takes for the pollution to build back up again?

Oh, and how you clean up shaving cream…off of sand. -.-
Ok, fuck you guys. We’re having a shaving cream fight on the beach.

But last winter and this winter in the SF Bay Area I have had both allergy and cold symptoms, I think because the air pollution is so bad here right now because this January we have hardly had any rain and the air is dirty from vehicle emissions and burning wood.
Granted, there is too much dust in my apartment but that will by gone by this Thursday when I have professional cleaners clean my place way better than I do, but the last few weeks I have had to fight off a head cold from moving down into my chest like it did last year.
I think that the local Bay Area media is avoiding covering the terrible winter air quality.
