They then compare the results with the smoke from three cigarettes to stem the boots for 30 minutes in the garage with the same conditions the same.
A pollutant analysis tool used to measure the rate of pollutant in the trial that every two minutes.

The researchers also found that when the number of cigarettes switched pollutant particles 15 times higher than outside the room, while the amount of pollutant diesel engine starts up when only about two times higher compared with the situation outside.
