A new exposure metric for traffic-related air pollution? An analysis of determinants of hopanes in settled indoor house dust
Abstract
BackgroundExposure to traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) can adversely impact health but epidemiologic studies are limited in their abilities to assess long-term exposures and incorporate variability in indoor pollutant infiltration.MethodsIn order to examine settled house dust levels of hopanes, engine lubricating oil byproducts found in vehicle exhaust, as a novel TRAP exposure measure, dust samples were collected from 171 homes in five …
