TL;DR: The decrease in vehicle speed during rush hours were strongly correlated with the increase in concentration of PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NO2, CO and NMVOC and high levels of these toxic air pollutants in Hanoi city posed a high health risk to humans.
Abstract: The large number of vehicles plying in roads is the main cause of traffic jam and air pollution in Hanoi. In this study, the vehicle density and shares of different vehicle types, the traffic flow ...

TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of meteorological extremes and particle levels on human health was analyzed using hourly air pollutant concentrations, meteorological variables, and the daily mortality from cerebrovascular disease.
Abstract: Rapid industrialization of Korea’s economy has brought with it environmental pollution that threatens human health. Among various other pollutants, ambient fine particulate matter known to endanger human health often exceeds air quality standards in Seoul, South Korea’s capital. The goal of this research is to find the impact of meteorological extremes and particle levels on human health. The analysis was conducted using hourly air pollutant concentrations, meteorological variables, and the daily mortality from cerebrovascular disease. Results show that the effect of fine particulate matter on mortality from cerebrovascular disease was more noticeable during meteorological extremes. The linkage between extreme weather conditions and mortality was more apparent in winter than in summer. Comprehensive studies of various causes of diseases should be continued to more accurately analyze the effects of fine particulate matter on human health and meteorological extremes, and to further minimize the public health impact of air pollution and meteorological conditions.
