Driving can be a dangerous endeavor. There are distracted drivers, drunk drivers, fatigued drivers, and road hazards on everyone’s daily commute. There are drive-thru’s and gas station foods with bacteria, salmonella and heart attack-inducing sugar-fat concoctions. And then, there’s the super-caffeinated drinks that can lead to heart problems, as well as risky sugar-highs and sugar-crashes. However, even if you survive all of these health hazards, there’s still one more potential health threat to contend with: air quality.

Whether you’re dealing with smog, cigarette smoke, chemical fumes or noxious smells, it’s important for drivers to be able to breath clean air on their daily drive. These common air pollutants can have long term effects on our health, including eye, nose and throat irritation, organ damage, and cancer. In the short term, drivers may notice headaches, fatigue, nausea and dizziness.

Many air pollutants can hang around for months or even years after your vehicle has been exposed to them. So, if you’re driving a vehicle that has been exposed to cleaning products, chemicals, cigarette smoke or smog, then you may want to consider cleaning the air inside your ride.

Luckily, there are a couple of products out there that will allow you to breath clean air every time you drive:

Portable Air Purifier Amaircare makes this travel-size air filter for use in vehicles. It is about the size of a small smoke alarm and hangs easily on the back of a car seat. It is effective in removing dust, pollen, cigarette smoke, bacteria, vehicle emissions, and other chemicals from the air.

Bamboo Charcoal This charcoal made from bamboo has amazing absorption properties. It is often sold in burlap bags, which allow air to pass through them and get filtered by the charcoal inside. Just like a charcoal water filter, this charcoal air filter removes impurities from the air. It also helps maintain humidity levels, absorbing moisture in high humidity environments and releasing moisture when humidity is low. Small bags such as these can be purchased to hang from your rear view mirror.

Besides dramatically improving the air quality and increasing your lifespan, having clean air can do wonders for your vehicle’s scent. These air purifiers are great at removing odors from old food, moldy drinks, dirty clothes, smoke, pets and other stinky contaminants.

Keeping your vehicle fresh will help you live a healthier life, and besides that, it will also help you maintain that Blue Book value if you ever plan to sell in the future.
