What Role Does Air Pollution Play in Traffic-Related Health Issues?
Traffic is a major source of air pollution in urban areas, contributing to higher levels of pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and particulate matter (PM). Exposure to these pollutants is linked to a range of health issues, including respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and even cancer. Epidemiologists use data on traffic patterns to study the spatial distribution of air pollution and its health impacts.
