- The major personal challenge was air pollution, particularly PM 2.5.
- I was concerned about the health effects and had two options: using air purifiers and staying indoors or ignoring them and going out despite bad air quality.
- I opted for the first option and used air purifiers while avoiding going out during bad air days.
