Article Synopsis
- Many cities are pushing for cleaner transportation options to fight climate change and improve public health, but cyclists face higher air pollution levels due to their close proximity to traffic.
- This study examined cyclists' exposure to particulate matter (PM) in Mendoza, Argentina, using low-cost sensors to measure inhalation doses on various cycling routes.
- Findings showed that pollutant levels fluctuate based on route choice and time of day, with male cyclists generally experiencing higher exposure than females, which can help in planning safer cycling routes.
