Default Re: Air Dirtier Inside the Car?

Wow ! I am an engineer by degree and even I am having a problem following the logic behind this one!!

I would only speculate this report failed to mention the results were based on the vehicle re-circulating the cabin air, much as is done in an airplane cabin, (where opening the windows is not an option )? I am basing this on the comment:
Quote:
“We release gases, bacteria and fungi into the air. The more people there are in an enclosed area, the more harmful it is,”


The only way that air coming from a cars vents is any "dirtier" then the air coming in your window, would be if there was dust, mold, toxic waste, etc, in the cars ducts or on the filter.
