Every day, cars sit with engines running while parked - this is called idling. It might seem harmless, but idling creates concentrated pollution where children and families gather, especially at schools and childcare drop-off zones.
This pollution can affect developing lungs, hearts, and brains, increasing the risk of asthma and other health problems.
By turning engines off whenever it’s safe, we can reduce unnecessary exposure and keep our air cleaner and healthier.
