We bought totobobo pollution masks. When the pollution index is 250 or higher in Beijing, I wear mine whenever I'm outside, including on busses, in the subway, etc. It makes an enormous difference––when I take it off, the smell of the pollution is overwhelming. It's disgusting to see how quickly the filters turn grey and, eventually black.

 

That being said, we noticed a much larger difference in day-to-day health when we bought our first air filter. We have it running in the bedroom 24/7, and it stopped us from waking up with a cough and stuffed up noses. We bought a relatively simple Midea HEPA filter for ~1,000 RMB at Guomei. Later we replaced it with a BlueAir filter, which cost quite a bit more. Build quality on the BlueAir is far superior to that of the Midea, which is starting to fall apart after two years use.

Good! But OMG expensive... 150-175RMB??? I buy the one I use for less than 2RMB.
