Objectives: This study aimed to explore how various factors affect older people's vehicle speed perception to enhance their road safety as pedestrians, focusing on the impact of their cognitive and perceptual abilities on road-crossing decisions.
Methods: The study evaluated the effects of brightness contrast (high, medium and low), road complexity (high and low) and vehicle travel direction (same and opposite) on speed perception errors in simulated traffic settings. It involved 38 older participants who estimated the speed of a comparison vehicle under two judgement conditions.

VOCs, as the common precursor of PM and O pollution, has not been paid enough attention in the previous phase. How to implement scientific and effective emission reduction on VOC sources is the focus of the next step in improving the atmospheric environmental quality in China. In this study, based on observations of VOC species, PM components and O, the distributed lag nonlinear model (DLNM) was used to investigate the nonlinear and lagged effects of key VOC categories on secondary organic aerosol (SOA) and O.
