“…The variation coefficients were in the range of 4-16%; 12-18%; 4-15% in the morning, afternoon and noon for the motorcyclists, respectively; whereas, those varied from 3-25%; 9-24%; 5-25% in the morning, afternoon and noon for the bicyclists, respectively. More significant variations were seen in peak hours, which agrees with the study in India [6]. Meanwhile, PM2.5 concentration in the ambient air fluctuated slightly (1-3%).…”

“…Although the afternoon (rush-hour) also has a comparable traffic volume (8118 vehicles/h), the high wind speed (vtb = 5m/s) facilitates the dispersion, leading to a lower exposure concentration than in the morning. The variation of personal exposure concentrations to PM2.5 in this study are consistent with the trend in India and China [6], [16]. Personal exposure to PM2.5 during commuting depends on several factors such as number of vehicles (density), and microclimate conditions such as temperature (T), humidity (RH), wind speed (V).…”

“…The distribution of curves is positively skewed, except at BMO. A similar study was made recently on the exposure to inhalable, thoracic and alveolic particles with respect to various modes of transportation in Delhi 35 . Gautam et al 20 reported higher variation in concentration of inhalable, thoracic and alveoli particles at various places of three Indian opencast mines.…”
