Health Effects of Driving on Roads and HighwaysProbably one of the main doses of ultrafine particulate (UFP) matter for many people is driving on the highway or roadways to and from work and other places, because a major source of ultrafine particles is engines running on fuel. If you think you are protected inside your car, then you are wrong. Air is circulated in from outside (otherwise you would suffocate). For example, if you drive through some from something burning, or drive past a dead skunk, you smell it quickly. The amount of particles has entered your vehicle in high enough quantity and quickly enough that you are immediately aware of it. Therefore, wearing a mask while driving is very important. However, because you are in a vehicle which can also carry with it extra equipment and larger filters, you can protect yourself even more in this highly dangerous environment by equipping your car with our extra filters, which offer these features:
Altogether, we can dramatically reduce the amount of ultrafine particulate pollution inside your car. The worst place for ultrafine particle may be the highway because of the higher percentage of diesel engine vehicles with heavier cargoes being carried over long distances, whereby each vehicle needs more power so more pollution is emitted per vehicle. Diesel engines are one of the worst sources of ultrafine particle pollution.
