Idea name: Clean air endurance mask
Problem:
As levels of air pollution are rising in urban areas, physical activities are becoming more harmful to our bodies. Several studies have been done regarding air pollution effects on physical exercise, the results show that exercising in polluted areas reduce positive affects of working out, as well as rises lead and other harmful chemical levels in our bodies.
Research shows that athlete running at easy pace for about 3 hours inhales the same volume of air as a sedentary person would over the course of two days. Athletes living in cities are facing pollution and are forced to move their exercises indoors or use masks to deal with the pollution, that are negatively affecting the experience.
Solution:
Headset that would push clean filtered air directly to athletes mouth and nose using small turbines and high efficiency filters.
This would supply athlete with clean air during the workout.
Challenge category: Sports infrastructure and equipment
Sport: Running is or target, but device can be used for various activities outside.
Idea type: Work in progress idea
Team: I have a team, but we are open to new team members
Teammate skills needed: Design; Tech

During the hackathon, teams can solve the challenges set by the partners, as well work on own new or work in progress ideas.
If possible, we suggest the teams to find ways to adapt their solutions to the challenges set by the partners, as they are looking for teams to work together and start pilot projects after hackathon.
