Air conditioning in cars cuts down microbes, particles: study

[LahoreEstate]

HELSINKI: Air conditioning in cars cuts out more than 80 percent of germs, fungal spores and particles from the outside air, providing a boon for people with respiratory problems or allergies, German scientists say. In a study released at the European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ECCMID), a Hannover medical school team monitored air quality in three cars between five and 10 years old that had been fitted with air conditioning. The microbiological quality of air showed “an enormous improvement,” ranging from 80.5 to 88.7 percent, when the air conditioners were on, the researchers said. afp
