Riding in a car can expose you to 15x as much air pollution as walking on the street. (2014, September 24). Retrieved November 24, 2014, from http://www.naturalnews.com/046995_air_pollution_automobiles_walking.html

According to the scientists, riding through the city in a car exposed a person to air pollution that is 15 times greater than walking or riding a bike.  Black carbon levels in cabs travelling throughout the city were 15 times greater than levels recorded outside of City Hall.  Black carbon is a type of soot that’s formed as a result of burning of fossil fuels.  Cyclists and walkers seem to be less affected because of their continuous movement allows them to breathe fresh air.

The article provides one of the ways to reduce pollution and at the same time, to be healthy.  As I was reading the article, I was considering of maybe biking or walking to school because that is how persuasive the article is.  The information that was given is interesting that anyone who will read the article might have a different view of riding throughout the city.  I think if most of the people might able to do of what the article says, that will be one less problem to worry about in our environment.
