Traffic fumes can create serious issues for people with heart disease, according to research published in The Lancet medical journal and a point that Corteco thinks should be driven home to customers. “A new cabin filter improves the environment inside the car,” says Corteco’s Steve Jarnet. “Few drivers appreciate that the quality of the air inside the cabin can be up to six times worse than it is outside at the kerb.” Clogged cabin filters are not so good at keeping dust, pollen and fumes at bay so it’s worth reminding drivers about replacing them and remember – drivers who upgrade from a standard to an activated carbon filter are more likely to run with the upgrade at the next service interval.
