Co2 is not a pollutant. It is necessary to life, as plants breathe it as we breathe oxygen. It does not cause respiratory problems, it does not cause sickness, and, it does not cause global warming.
The current levels of Co2 in the air are as low as 1% of their levels at other times in history, and the world is still around, isn't it?
As for cars producing Co2, the average car produces less than 1/3 the amount of Co2 that the average house does. If you really want to reduce Co2 you should be living in your car.

Co2 is not pollutant?
you say that Co2 concentration is at 1%, lets say I buy it, the maximum safe amount for humans is 0.01% (by OSHA and NIOSH National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health )
also this is what it causes: Symptoms of high or prolonged exposure to carbon dioxide include headache, increased heart rate, dizziness, fatigue, rapid breathing, visual and hearing dysfunctions. Exposure to higher levels may cause unconsciousness or death within minutes of exposure.
looks like you are just talking like you heard it somewere without making the proper research.
