I also know Pedialyte is often used by professional athletes who have to perform in our weather. During the pro volleyball tournament here recently all the players were drinking Pedialyte. I think there's something to it. After all, you give it to infants to keep them from dehydrating. Why not adults?
And poor air quality out here generally means high levels of particulate matter - 10 microns and above.

If Pedialyte or any other water-based drink works for you, then OK. Pedialyte and similar "rehydration formulae" consist of water with sugar and certain minerals.The sugar helps provide energy, and the minerals helps the body absorb water better.
The fact you would drink PLyte which many say is weird or wussified, gets my vote
