摘要：	Exposure to fine particle pollution can cause premature death and harmful cardiovascular effects such as heart attacks and strokes, and is linked to a variety of other significant health problem. A pilot project was commissioned by the University Transportation Research Center (URTC) to develop a methodology for studying the air quality impact of traffic congestion. The concept is that both the performance criteria of traffic flow and related health issues need be considered in the design of traffic management systems. The above study uses the NYC Midtown Manhattan as the study site incorporating the NYCDOT traffic flow instruments as well as street level air quality monitors, measuring traffic volume and speed and fine particulate matter.
