Inside the nice air conditioned car on the way to school, you wouldn't think you'd be breathing in too many fumes.
But research shows it is the kids who are being driven to school that breathe in in the highest levels of noxious fumes per minute, instead of those walking or cycling next to traffic.
New Zealand academic Dr Shanon Lim worked on this research in the UK and found the results prompted families to make changes to their school commutes.
Dr Lim wants to repeat this study in Aotearoa. He speaks to Jesse.
