Mobile monitoring of particle number concentration and other traffic-related air pollutants in a near-highway neighborhood over the course of a year
TL;DR: Air pollutant levels in a near-highway urban area over a wide range of traffic and meteorological conditions using a mobile monitoring platform were measured, with the highest pollutant concentrations measured within 0-50 m of I-93, and the most pronounced variations were observed for PNC.
