Latest research reveals sitting in traffic jams is officially bad for you

(University of Surrey) Pollution levels inside cars were found to be up to 40% higher while in traffic jams or at a red traffic light compared to free-flowing traffic conditions.Car windows closed with the fan/heating off in traffic is the best ventilation setting in traffic leading up to a 76% reduction in in-car pollutants. Also, safest setting is the air being circulated internally only by the fan without drawing in polluted air from outdoors.
