Exposure of taxi drivers and office workers to traffic-related pollutants in Beijing: A note

This study measures the 24-h exposure of taxi drivers and office workers to traffic-related pollutants, including particulates and nitrogen oxide using personal exposure monitors. The subway riders were exposed to the highest particulate, manganese, iron, and calcium concentrations and the taxi drivers to the highest nitrogen oxide and black carbon concentration.
