Give Yourself a Breathe of Fresh Air Are Dirty Cabin Air Filters Preventing You From Breathing Easily in Your Car? |
|
Cabin air filters help protect your health by improving the quality of air you breathe while in your vehicle. Increasing traffic congestion, commuting distances, and family activities add up to more time spent in the car than ever. Cabin air filters remove nearly 100% of airborne particles including a broad range of microscopic particles, harmful gases, pollutants and unpleasant odors to help make time in the car more enjoyable and healthier. |

 During the hot summer months, contaminants, such as pollen, dust, mold spores and smog, can easily enter a vehicle's passenger compartment through the air conditioning, heating and ventilation systems, making the air in the vehicle six times dirtier than the air outside, cautions the Car Care Council. |

Motorists can protect themselves and their passengers from these containments by replacing the vehicle's cabin air filter annually or more often in areas with heavy containments, or whenever heating or cooling efficiency is reduced. Cabin air filters clean the incoming air and remove allergens - especially beneficial to people who suffer from allergies and asthma. If your vehicle is a model year 2000 or newer, there is a good chance it is equipped with a cabin air filter. Annual Replacement Recommended |

If the cabin air filter is not replaced, it can cause musty odors in the vehicle, and over time, the heater and air conditioner may become damaged by corrosion. A dirty or clogged cabin air filter can also cause containments to become so concentrated in the cabin that passengers actually breathe in more fumes and particles when riding in the vehicle compared to walking down the street. Be sure your cabin Air Filter is changed every year so it can trap pollutants like ozone, benzene, formaldehyde and acetaldehyde. When changed regularly, cabin air filters help reduce wear on your vehicle's heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. |
