In-bus air quality study reveals cleaner air for passengers

A new study found that passengers on long-distance buses in India breathe cleaner air for most of their travel time.

The study, conducted by Respirer Living Sciences and IntrCity SmartBus, measured air quality inside buses on 11 different routes.

They found that for up to 80% of the time, the air inside the buses had low levels of tiny pollution particles called PM2.5, which are harmful to health.

This means passengers are breathing cleaner air for most of their journey.

The study also showed that even when pollution levels were higher, these spikes were short and not sustained.

This is good news for passengers' health, especially during winter when pollution levels are usually high.

The buses used special technology to monitor and clean the air, making the trips safer and healthier.
