How Do We Measure Exposure to Combustion Pollutants?
Exposure to combustion pollutants can be measured using environmental monitoring and personal exposure assessments. Environmental monitoring involves the use of stationary air quality monitors to measure pollutant levels in specific locations. Personal exposure assessments use portable devices to measure the concentration of pollutants that individuals are exposed to in their daily activities. These measurements are crucial for conducting epidemiological studies and assessing the effectiveness of public health interventions.
