Many of us believe that we can escape the polluted cities by moving to the greener pastures of the countryside. Unfortunately this is far from the truth of the matter. Rural areas actually suffer more days of air pollution than urban areas, with levels of Ozone 20 – 40 % higher than in cities.

So how can this be??

It may surprise you to know that the greater concentrations of road traffic in cities and towns create more pollutants that actually “scrub out” the newly formed Ozone. Ironically it is the cleaner air in the countryside that allows the Ozone to linger and accumulate.

However, there is some good news for the country dwellers. While this may be so for Ozone, urban areas are still far worse for Nitrogen Dioxide from car exhausts. Similarly for Volatile Organic Compounds and Carbon Monoxide – both of which are major components of exhaust fumes.

There are many things we can do personally to protect ourselves and minimize the health risks of breathing in dirty air and I will cover these in a future article. But what can we do collectively to reduce the pollution in the first place

There is a great deal of information on the internet about reducing your carbon footprint, and many of these ideas are excellent and should become part of our everyday lives.

But the majority of people are not aware that there is a product available that is an instant solution against our Global Emission problems. It is environmentally friendly and it is guaranteed to reduce emissions by 78 %
