So there's that.

Will its not "So theres that" really is it. Yes your car may not be bellowing out the black soot, but there are plenty of other invisible particulates. Plenty of Vans, tracks and older Diesels are the worst offenders. Where's your "So theres that" comment response to this?

Both petrol and diesel cars regardless of Euro regs emit fumes that are proven to be harmful to people and increasing asthma in children. What are we to do? carry on driving around polluting cars with harmful fumes to everyone, or actually do something about it? theres no denying it that in built up areas fumes (not only vehicles on the road but air and trains) are to blame but trains and planes are more difficult to resolve straight away.
