Abstract | [Extract] Traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) is a term that refers to the contribution of traffic activity to ambient air pollution. Traffic activity includes the use of motorized vehicles such as passenger cars, motorcycles, buses, coaches, light-duty, and heavy-duty vehicles. These vehicles emit air pollutants including carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter with a diameter less than 2.5 μm (PM2.5), particulate matter with a diameter less than 10 μm (PM10) and hydrocarbons (HC), to name a few (Health Effects Institute Panel on the Health Effects of Traffic-Related Air Pollution, 2010). The aforementioned air pollutants contribute to the degradation of ambient air quality, resulting in numerous adverse health outcomes for exposed populations. |
