SEPTEMBER 5, 2016

The study, published as an open-access paper in the journal Environmental Pollution , examined trends in air pollution over a ten-year period spanning 2005 to 2014, using data collected from 65 roads. Overall, there was a decrease in total traffic between 2005 and 2014, mainly explained by the reduction in cars and taxis.
