What is “fresh air”? Is air not just air?
In: Earth Science
Inside spaces tend to pick up a lot of smells from the things you have around. I’m sure you may notice that your room smells like you, a school smells a particular way, a hospital, a Home Depot, a pool, etc. The air there has picked up the smells of the objects and people inside. If you’re around it for a while, you might feel the need to get away from it.
That’s when you go outside to the “fresh” air, the air that smells untainted by all the stuff going on inside. It smells like nothing, or like flowers, but usually cleaner than where you came from. That’s why it tends to be refreshing. “Fresh” air is relative to where you are; the beach could be ‘fresh’ if you live in a big city, or outside on the sidewalk could be ‘fresh’ if you are inside a stale office building with lots of other people.
