TLDR
A quantitative method that synthesizes the literature on air pollution exposure in travel microenvironments for use in health impact assessments or potentially for epidemiology was conducted, showing generally greatest exposures in car riders and lowest exposure in pedestrians.About:

Outdoor air pollution and cancer: An overview of the current evidence and public health recommendations.
Michelle C. Turner,Zorana Jovanovic Andersen,Andrea A. Baccarelli,W. Ryan Diver,Susan M. Gapstur,C. Arden Pope,Diddier Prada,Jonathan M. Samet,George D. Thurston,Aaron J Cohen,Aaron J Cohen +10 more
TL;DR: An overview of outdoor air pollutants, sources, and global levels is presented, as well as a description of epidemiological evidence linking outdoor air pollution with cancer incidence and mortality, and multilevel interventions aimed at individual, community, and regional scales are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of a low-cost optical particle counter (Alphasense OPC-N2) for ambient air monitoring
Leigh R. Crilley,Marvin D. Shaw,Ryan Pound,Louisa Kramer,Robin Price,Stuart Young,Alastair C. Lewis,Francis D. Pope +7 more
TL;DR: Alphasense OPC-N2 as mentioned in this paper is a low-cost miniature optical particle counter for monitoring ambient airborne particles at typical urban background sites in the UK, which is evaluated by co-locating 14 sensors at a site to investigate the variation in measured concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Air pollution, physical activity and health: A mapping review of the evidence

TL;DR: Current evidence of AP and PA interactions for health is reviewed and it is suggested that PA behaviour and health effects might be moderated by AP exposure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Health impacts of bike sharing systems in Europe
TL;DR: The twelve major Bike-sharing systems in Europe provide health and economic benefits and the promotion of shifting car drivers to use BSS can significantly increase the health benefits.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of factors impacting exposure to PM2.5, ultrafine particles and black carbon in Asian transport microenvironments
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors comprehensively assess the PM2.5, UFP, and BC related studies in Asian TMEs to understand the extent of exposure, the underlying factors leading to such exposure, and how Asian exposures compare to those found in Europe and the United States of America (USA).

Log-normal Distributions across the Sciences: Keys and Clues
TL;DR: Many widely used statistical methods, such as ANOVA (analysis of variance) and regression analysis, require that the data be normally distributed, but only rarely is the frequency distribution of data tested when these techniques are used.
Journal ArticleDOI
Respiratory effects of exposure to diesel traffic in persons with asthma.
James E. McCreanor,Paul Cullinan,Mark J. Nieuwenhuijsen,James Stewart-Evans,Eleni Malliarou,Lars Jarup,Robert Harrington,Magnus Svartengren,Inkyu Han,Pamela Ohman-Strickland,Kian Fan Chung,Junfeng Zhang +11 more
TL;DR: The authors' observations serve as a demonstration and explanation of the epidemiologic evidence that associates the degree of traffic exposure with lung function in asthma.
Journal ArticleDOI
Do the Health Benefits of Cycling Outweigh the Risks
TL;DR: Whether the health benefits from the increased physical activity of a modal shift for urban commutes outweigh the health risks for individuals shifting their mode of transport is described.
Review of evidence on health aspects of air pollution – REVIHAAP Project. Technical Report. World Health Organization Regional Office for Europe 2013
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present answers to 24 questions relevant to reviewing European policies on air pollution and to addressing health aspects of these policies, which were developed by a large group of scientists engaged in the WHO project REVIHAAP.

TL;DR: Effects of increased PA contributed the most to estimated health benefits, which strongly outweighed detrimental effects of traffic incidents and air pollution exposure on health, irrespective of geographical context.
