2 Mobile Source Pollutants National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) 1 hour 8 hour 24 hour Annual Mean Adverse Health Effects PM ug/ m ug / m aggravation of asthma * depressed lung PM ug /m 3 50 ug /m 3 Ultrafines (0.1micron) function in children *aggravation of acute respiratory symptoms * increased risk of bronchitis in infants Traffic / Environmental Health Studies van Vliet et al Gehring et al 2002 English et al 1999 Wjst et al Ozone 0.12 ppm ppm (as of 2008) (0.08 ppm) CO 35 ppm 9 ppm *aggravation of asthma *reduced lung function *increased cardiac ischemia NO 2 VOCs 0.11 ppm (WHO) ppm urban air toxics: e.g. benzene, acetaldehyde, formaldehyde, diesel particulates (California) etc. * increased respiratory morbidity *aggravation of asthma *reduced lung function increased response to allergens *increased risk of lung cancer * increased risk of childhood leukemia * The hatched area means there are no criteria set by the CAA in the US Nitta et al 1993 Delfino et al 2003 Gauderman et al Janssen et al Crosignani et al

3 PM Penetration into Lungs TSP Coarse PM Fine & Ultrafine PM 3

4 Freeway Air Pollution Shed (FAPS) -Bae, Sandlin,Bassok, Kim PM declines with distance from freeway edge at a negative exponential rate Falls to background level beyond 100m. This is our criterion for the spatial definition of FAPS Slide 18 (of 47)

5 FAPS Phase 1 Residential (SFH & MFH) Land Use analysis Schools & Daycare centers Phase 2 Demographic analysis EJ analysis Socioeconomic analysis Phase 3 Housing Market analysis Cluster analysis Hedonic pricing analysis 5

14 Bicyclist Exposure to Air Pollution in Seattle and Seoul Christine C-H Bae E-Sok Andy Hong University of Washington 50 th WRSA Conference, Monterey, CA March 2, 2011

15 Seoul, South Korea

16 Equipment Portable Aethalometer (AE51) Detecting the changes in optical absorption of light transmitted through the accumulated BC particles captured on a filter Capture black carbon every 1min (typically < 0.3 μm) Pollution Monitor Tube fixture

17 Equipment Global Positioning System (GPS) GPS borrowed from other lab for testing purpose Tracking spatial information while collecting black carbon data Using time stamp to sync data Pollution Monitor Tube fixture
