TL;DR: The ESCAPE study as mentioned in this paper investigated the long-term effects of exposure to air pollution on human health in Europe and found significant contrasts in annual average NO2 and NOx concentrations between and especially within 36 study areas across Europe.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Active‐ and public‐transport commuters are often at risk of higher air pollution and noise exposure than private car users, and this should be taken into account in urban transportation planning.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Variability of PM10_Cu and Fe was mostly due to within-study area differences and exceeded that of most other traffic-related pollutants, including NO2 and soot, signaling the importance of non-tailpipe emissions in PM.
Journal ArticleDOI
An electrical sensor for long-term monitoring of ultrafine particles in workplaces
TL;DR: Pegasor Particle Sensor (PPS) as mentioned in this paper uses an ejector pump to draw a constant sample flow into the sensing area where it is mixed with the clean, charged pump flow air (provided by an external source).
Journal ArticleDOI
Microenvironment particle measurements in Thessaloniki, Greece
TL;DR: In this article, the authors assess differences in commuters' exposure to traffic-related particulate pollution in Thessaloniki, Greece, using three travel modes: bicycle, car, and bus.
