| Abstract |
Concentrations of smoke, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and some gaseous air pollutants (sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide and oxides of nitrogen) were measured in diesel-bus garages in London (United Kingdom), and compared with observations in the same garages 23 years previously. Though the background concentrations of smoke and PAHs were significantly reduced compared to the earlier observations (mostly due to anti-pollution laws), the benzo(a)pyrene content of the air inside the garages (due to exhaust fumes from the buses) has remained basically the same. |
