Urban Bicyclists ' Uptake of Air Pollution

This study explores the pollution uptake in urban bicyclists and its effects on health. The findings highlight the importance of traffic, weather, and land-use factors in determining pollution exposure. Different pollutants have varying effects, emphasizing the need for separation from traffic. The study offers insights for bikeway design considerations.
