“…Physical barriers such as controlled ventilation settings in cars help to extract and filter fine and coarse particles from the vehicle microenvironment [43]. Driving personal vehicles with windows closed and with air conditioning set to the "recirculate" setting reduced in-vehicle particle concentrations by up to 75% versus driving with windows open [68] and PM 2.5 exposure levels were reduced by approximately 40% [80]. Using a fan set to recirculation versus external circulation mode while in traffic reduces TRAP exposures [76,81], with one study showing UFP exposure reduction of up to 20% by recirculation through a HEPA filter [82].…”

As global awareness of air pollution rises, so does the imperative to provide evidence-based recommendations for strategies to mitigate its impact. While public policy has a central role in reducing air pollution, exposure can also be reduced by personal choices. Qualified evidence supports limiting physical exertion outdoors on high air pollution days and near air pollution sources, reducing near-roadway exposure while commuting, utilising air quality alert systems to plan activities, and wearing facemasks in prescribed circumstances. Other strategies include avoiding cooking with solid fuels, ventilating and isolating cooking areas, and using portable air cleaners fitted with high-efficiency particulate air filters. We detail recommendations to assist providers and public health officials when advising patients and the public regarding personal-level strategies to mitigate risk imposed by air pollution, while recognising that well-designed prospective studies are urgently needed to better establish and validate interventions that benefit respiratory health in this context.

“…The influence of human activities and industrial production is also crucial. Kolluru et al [6] discussed the contribution of different travel modes to passengers' pollutant exposure for long-distance travel on a national highway in India. The concentrations of CO, CO 2 , and PM 2.5 were studied by the analysis of variance (ANOVA) method and it was concluded that avoiding national highways passing through cities can reduce up to 25% PM 2.5 and 50% CO mass exposures.…”

The fog and haze weather that occurs year by year in China seriously affects people's life and health. Pollution weather often sweeps through most parts of the country, especially in northern China, the Yangtze River Delta and central China. These areas are densely populated and economically developed, and their demand for natural resources is far higher than those in other parts of China. With the increasing consumption of fossil fuels from factories and private cars, SO 2 and NO x emitted to the air not only do direct harm to human beings and plants, but also cause secondary pollution such as acid rain, haze, greenhouse effect and photochemical smog. Severe smog pollution has also occurred in many developed countries, such as the photochemical smog events in Los Angeles in 1955 and 1970, and the smog events in London in 1952, which resulted in a large number of deaths. As the culprit of air pollutants, PM 2.5 concentration increases the mortality of respiratory and cardiovascular diseases.

“…A bemutatott, egymásnak sokszor ellentmondó eredmények számos okra vezethetők vissza. Ezek az eltérések rávilágítanak arra, hogy számos külső körülmény befolyásolja az egyes közlekedési módok esetében tapasztalható kitettséget: ilyen például az utak karakterisztikája, a meteorológiai viszonyok, az utastér szellőzése, a jármű üzemanyaga, a közlekedés volumene, vagy éppen a kibocsátó forrástól való távolság (Ramos et al, 2016;Kolluru et al, 2018). Emellett az egyes mintavételi módok is eltérőek, ami szintén megnehezíti az eredmények összehasonlítását, értelmezését.…”
