Abstract: | Air pollution is a substantial problem as it negatively affects human health and causes damage to the natural and built environment. In the European Union a long-term strategy to reduce air pollution has been established, and member countries are committed to monitor a variety of outdoor air pollutants. However, samples are taken in relatively open spaces according to the regulations. Within this study, it was attempted to measure energy-related outdoor air pollution in areas that combine heavy road traffic with a large number of pedestrians, and to measure pollutants at low heights relevant to young children walking or being transported in prams. |
