Is it healthier for you to always have the AC on?

If it removes pollutants then of course it will be cleaner air. Although, I'm not sure if I'm convinced it is cleaner since the air does come through the car so surely it picks up things.

Uh.. all cabin air comes through the cabin filter.

So is it healthier to always have AC on do you know?

I don't really see how it would be; all the air is filtered the same way.

Says in my manual that the AC filters pollutants that otherwise wouldn’t be filtered

Hi my brother always has his AC on in his car and it got me thinking. I know it removes pollutants and such so would it be a better quality of air you’ll breathe in?
I am considering always having my AC on if it is indeed healthier.

No - all air used in the HVAC system passes through the cabin filter, not just the air conditioning.

In all vehicles? From your 2005 Honda to a 2018 Range rover? Are you sure? Feel like luxury brands would’ve developed better air stuff

You will definitely have a larger electrical bill.

The basic principle of air filtration is all the same... a filter is put between the inlet and outlet.. what more do you want?

Well I imagine in markers like China and other parts of Asia they’d advertise luxury cars as having complete pollutants removal and clean healthy air? No?

In a car???

You're not listening, are you?

How do you filter air? With an air filter.

I don’t think you’re taking into account the costs and brands involved. Are you telling me a £6,995 Dacia will have the exact same air filtration as a range rover? I think not. I’m pretty sure I’m right in thinking the Dacia will have very basic filtration of the cheapest materials. The range river on the other hand, full of tech, can close its vents. It will (you can guarantee it) bring in less pollutants into the car than the Dacia. But I’ve already found the solution online, ‘In their research, they concluded that with the AC kept on, the cabin air was around 20 – 34 per cent cleaner than with the Windows rolled down. The AC in the car has a cold evaporator, which absorbs heat and produces cold air, and the intake fans for the AC also have an air filter, which can reduce the amount of suspended particles in the air. ‘
Infact after researching online I find that in Asian markets they do advertise clean AC cabin cars as I suggested. ‘Television has recently been bombarded with commercials by AC manufacturers selling tin cans that can transform the indoor air of urban India into “breath of life” from Swiss Alps. “Dust-free”, “germ-free”, in fact some even offer “healthy air” in their sales pitch. ‘

Thanks for your mildly aggressive input though.
