Don't live in a built up area , what people don't know is you breathe a higher amount of pollution in a car compared to a pedestrian , bus passenger or cyclist , so the car interior is more of an issue.

wot to do ,we been breathing in rubbish from when we first made a fire.! at least we as a tribe are thinking about solutions , if you really want to see uncontrolled pollution ,check out the third world ,who for long will be negating any efforts made by developed world !!!! its good we try, but i fear for next 100 yrs its unlikely to have the effect of global reduction ..
