Wondering why I had 2 small trucks pass by me during my run this morning, and they were loud and smelled bad. For about 10 seconds I could clearly see my breath while running. Does this happen with heavy exhaust or was I breathing something potentially harmful? It was slightly concerning.
Mostly just curious since I’ve been a runner for a long time and have never had this happen despite trucks and cars passing by me all the freaking time.

My guess is that while running normally, the small amount of fog created by your exhalation in that temperature did not come to your field of view as you were running through the air, but the way in which those passing trucks created all sorts of air movement allowed you to see it briefly.
