Work from home
If your job can be done remotely, working from home occasionally can reduce the number of times that you have to travel during high pollution periods, such as rush hours and particularly high pollution days.
When you are working from home, try to keep your house well ventilated, and avoid burning candles or woodfires, as these contribute to air pollution too.
Work Flexibly
When you need to travel to work, see whether it is possible for you to work hours that allow you to avoid the worst of the rush hour. Can you start and leave a bit earlier or later so that you still complete the same number of hours, but miss the traffic?
