The AC is a sealed system on the cooling side so you dont get any Freon in the car. Your best bet is to have AC on and select recirculate. That pulls in the least outside air and whatever is in the car just recycles. It also gets the coolest temperature. Without filters its a lost cause but thats the best you can do. Smog or recycled CO2; your choice

Just push the a/c button and it will shut off the a/c but leave the fan and duct doors alone .

Now I have recently moved to Los Angeles and besides any city being polluted I have made a conscious effort not to have my windows rolled down and I have always had my air on and A/C on .
What is less unhealthy? windows rolled down or AC?
Less unhealthy would be to move ! Life gets in the way though .... living in L.A. I would reccomend windows up , doors locked and a reliable handgun between the seat and the door sill .
