The largest source of air pollution in American cities is motor vehicles. Miles driven by Americans increases every year. The concentration of air pollution is highest near the highway.
The particle-based pollutants come from fuel combustion. They’re tiny and can stay in the deepest part of your lungs, causing harmful reactions in your body.
