I am very sensitive to pollution,and I just got my son in a part

time homeschool kids program last week.I now drive 2-4 hrs in a day

..The first day I got sick.I immediately went to the hardware store

and bought paint masks and bought online a car filter.I haven't

recieved the car filter($155.00)yet but used the mask.I looked a

little funny but it really helped.I feel better than the last

commute.Has anyone had any success with any kind of

filters? Thanks,Tammy F.
