Summary
This study looked at how much tiny pollution particles (ultrafine particles and black carbon) taxi drivers breathe in while working. 56 drivers wore portable air monitors and took breathing tests before and after their shifts. The goal was to see if the air inside their cabs affects their lung function and causes short-term breathing problems.
