It's water. Of course it washes particulates out of the air. I wish it would rain here. The entire state is under Level 3 water restrictions, the highest level. I will be happy the next time it rains. I have a feeling it won't rain again for a long time.

I like going for a walk in the rain and sailing in the rain. It cleans the air. That makes me feel better.
