CIGINT
The CIGINT feed on a phone: 0.61 cigarettes over the last 30 days, then a smoky ride in Kelowna with an AQHI of 9, high risk, and a run in Vancouver at low risk.

How many cigarettes was your run worth?

CIGINT pulls your Strava activities, looks up the air quality where and when you were moving, and turns it into a cigarette equivalent.

How it works

  1. Connect your Strava account (read-only access to your activities).
  2. For each activity we look up PM2.5 (fine particulate) at the start location from Environment and Climate Change Canada's 10 km air quality analysis.
  3. Exposure is PM2.5 × time outside, converted with a common rule of thumb: 22 µg/m³ for 24 hours is about one cigarette.

Good to know

  • Coverage is Canada (apart from the high Arctic), the contiguous United States (apart from the southern tip of Texas and the Florida Keys) and most of Alaska.
  • Only outdoor activities with GPS from the last 30 days are shown, since that's as far back as the air quality data goes.
  • It's a rough estimate for fun. It uses the air at the start of your activity, not your exact route or breathing rate.
