According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, car pollutants cause ground-level ozone which damages your lungs and is extremely harmful to people who have asthma and other types of lung disease.
Yeah, the ozone is bad enough to burn sensitive crops in some areas. You can be sure it is doing the same to your lungs.
Schools and School buses are the worst spots, you can smell the idling fleet of buses and parents a mile away if the wind is blowing the right way.
