David Miller looks at whether the love affair with the car is damaging people's health, and reveals how little is being done to cut emissions on the streets.

Just what is coming out of your car's exhaust and what is it doing to your health? The VW diesel emissions scandal has highlighted how little we know about cars and air pollution.
