TLDR
In this paper, the relationship of local meteorology, traffic volumes and roadside air quality is discussed, showing that the main source of air pollution in London is now road vehicle emissions.Abstract:
The main source of air pollution in London is now road vehicle emissions. In addition to meteorological conditions, traffic volume is an important factor which influences the local air pollutant concentrations to which pedestrians and road users are exposed. This paper discusses the relationship of local meteorology, traffic volumes and roadside air quality. Data from the London Borough of Southwark's roadside monitoring station, situated at a major London route (A2), has been analyzed for traffic volumes and nitrogen oxides. Data sets for the months of February and March 1995 have been employed for this study. The data analysis indicates a measurable correlation between the levels of NO and NC>2, traffic volumes and wind speed.read more

Effect of road traffic on air pollution. Experimental evidence from COVID-19 lockdown
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated the effectiveness and limitations of these interventions, by analyzing the relationship between traffic flows and air quality, using a dataset collected during the COVID-19 lockdown in the city of Padova (Italy), in which severe limitations to contain the spread of the virus simulated long and large-scale traffic restrictions.
