For those who need to commute when air quality is poor, a new technology will make it possible to use the safest route possible for their health.

, Purvi Parikh, allergist and immunologist at NYU Langone Health, told ABC News.

Heavy smoke fills the air shrouding the view to the northeast to One Vanderbilt and the Chrysler Building from the Empire State Building, June 7, 2023, in New York.Constant exposure to air pollution increases inflammation in the body, and can cause short-term symptoms such as itchy, watery eyes, nasal congestion, headaches, shortness of breath, coughing and skin irritation, Parikh said.

The user-friendly map highlights the intersections between air pollution and pollen along city routes, providing information to users that essentially identifies a cleaner-air commuting route, as well as the routes to avoid.
