The population of industrialized countries such as the United States or of countries from the European Union\r\nspends approximately more than one hour each day in vehicles. In this respect, numerous studies have so far\r\naddressed outdoor air pollution that arises from traffic. By contrast, only little is known about indoor air quality in\r\nvehicles and influences by non-vehicle sources.\r\nTherefore the present article aims to summarize recent studies that address i.e. particulate matter exposure. It can\r\nbe stated that although there is a large amount of data present for outdoor air pollution, research in the area of\r\nindoor air quality in vehicles is still limited. Especially, knowledge on non-vehicular sources is missing. In this\r\nrespect, an understanding of the effects and interactions of i.e. tobacco smoke under realistic automobile\r\nconditions should be achieved in future.
