Respiratory System

Planes, Trains, and AUTOMOBILES

Your home is where you can make the biggest difference to the quality of the air you breathe. But there's a lot you can do to improve the outdoor air too. Cars can be sources of outdoor air pollution especially if your average trip is under 25 km and if you are often in "stop and go" traffic. Slow speeds = lower fuel efficiency = more pollution. Anything that helps to save fuel can cut down on emissions. Keeping your car well tuned can improve the air you breathe, save major moula and give your car a longer life.
