Personal exposure levels to O₃, NO_x and PM₁₀ and the association to ambient levels in two Swedish cities.

ABSTRACT: Exposure to air pollution is of great concern for public health although studies on the associations between exposure estimates and personal exposure are limited and somewhat inconsistent. The aim of this study was to quantify the associations between personal nitrogen oxides (NO_x), ozone (O₃) and particulate matter (PM₁₀) exposure levels and ambient levels, and the impact of climate and time spent outdoors in two cities in Sweden. Subjects (n = 65) from two Swedish cities participated in the study. The study protocol included personal exposure measurements at three occasions, or waves. Personal exposure measurements were performed for NO_x and O₃ for 24 h and PM₁₀ for 24 h, and the participants kept an activity diary. Statio
