The air pollution accumulating in the interior of automobiles consists almost exclusively of gaso- line and diesel exhaust. This toxic soup of gases, aerosols, and microscopic particles includes ben- zene (a known carcinogen), carbon monoxide (which interferes with the blood s ability to trans- port oxygen), particulate matter (which studies have associated with increased death rates), and a host of other hazardous chemicals. Public health officials frequently issue warn- ings reported in local weather broadcasts when con- centrations of auto pollutants exceed healthful lev- els in the ambient air. The air quality inside of cars is typically much. | International Center for Technology Assessment In-Car Air Pollution The Hidden Threat to Automobile Drivers REPORT NO. 4 AN ASSESSMENT OF THE AIR QUALITY INSIDE AUTOMOBILE PASSENGER COMPARTMENTS Foreword This report by the International Center for Technology Assessment CTA represents the fourth in a series of studies designed to assess the environmental and social impacts of transportation technology. These reports are meant to aid policymakers and the public in their ongoing deliberations concerning the future course of transportation in the United States. This particular report contains an in-depth analysis of the concentrations of auto pollution that collect inside automobiles and affect the health of drivers and passengers. This report found that pollution levels inside cars are often much higher than those detected in the ambient air at the roadside and in other commonly used vehicles. CTA gratefully acknowledges the contributions of many individuals organizations and government entities which assisted in the production of this report. In particular CTA would like to thank John A.

CTA offers special thanks to The Changing Horizons Charitable Trust for funding this project. CTA was formed in 1994 to assist the general public and policymakers in better understanding how technology affects society. CTA is devoted to fully exploring the economic ethical social environmental and political impacts of technology or technological systems. Using this holistic form of analysis CTA provides the public with independent timely and comprehensive information about the potential impacts of technology. CTA is also committed to initiating appropriate legal grassroots public education and legislative responses relevant to its assessment findings. The Center is a .
