Car Ventilation vs Pollution - Steven Jones
On my drive/crawl into work each day I often find myself moving the recirculate air slider so that I don't have to breath the fumes of the car in front when stationary - problem is my car then mists up.

Is there any way to solve this problem? Does a ventilation system filter air (I don't think it does in my old, non A/C-equipped car!) Do any cars solve this problem?

thanks

A/C is the only answer I'm afraid Steven.

A fresh air inlet filter will not fully filter out the stench emitted from some cars...

I think a pollen filter will catch the soot emitted by diesels but that's all.
