Description of the problem	After suffering through months of illness caused by a noxious smell, we have researched and found that our v8 toyota 4 runner's catalytic converter emits oxides of sulfur (so2, hs2, etc.) on the matter of sulfur dioxide alone, we found that according to the epa, so2 contributes to respiratory illness, particularly in children and the elderly, and aggravates existing heart and lung diseases. People with asthma are particularly affected by peak levels of so2. As i am pregnant, have asthma, and use this vehicle to transport my 4-year-old on a daily basis, i am deeply concerned by gresham toyota's refusal to address this potentially hazardous health situation. *la
