Road vehicles are a major source of many pollutants in urban areas.
* Before using your car ask yourself - do I really need to make this journey? Do I really need to use the car, or could I walk or cycle?
* If you must drive, switch off the engine if you expect to be stationary for more than a couple of minutes, and
* drive smoothly - it will save you fuel and money and you will emit less pollution.
* Avoid overfilling the petrol tank and spilling petrol - this evaporates and releases hydrocarbons that are toxic and form ozone.
* Use only fuel efficient cars. Avoid SUVs.
* Buy water-based or low-solvent paints, glues, varnishes, and wood preservatives wherever you can.
* Avoid burning solid fuels if you can.
