Particulate Matter Exposure for Paratransit Transport |
摘要: |
Paratransit buses have longer dwell times to give sufficient time to elderly population to enter or exit the bus. This leads to longer ingress and egress times which will further result in longer idling times and thereby increasing PM exposure inside bus cabin as well as outside waiting area for this sensitive population group. The objective of this research is to measure PM emissions from paratransit buses and study the effect of such emissions on sensitive population. This project will aim to evaluate the contribution of PM10 & PM2.5 emissions from paratransit buses in Atlanta and evaluate the health effect of such exposure on elder population. The project will further expand upon suggesting solutions to protect sensitive elderly population as well as environment. |
