Human exposure to carbon monoxide from mobile sources

Abstract This paper reviews studies conducted throughout the world of human exposure to carbon monoxide concentrations from mobile source emissions. It describes typical levels and durations of exposure in a variety of microenvironments affected by mobile sources, and examines how various explanatory factors, public policies, and social trends affect these exposures. Based on international comparisons of commuter exposures, the paper concludes that progress in exposure reduction varies significantly among developed and developing countries.
