This is precisely why we need to keep pressuring our lawmakers to force the automakers to meet increasingly stringent emissions standards. The technology does exist, and it becomes increasingly affordable with mass-production experience and value engineering. The good(?) news is that the levels of certain air pollutants tend to be very high INSIDE cars, as well as outside.
