Assessment of personal exposure to particulate air pollution: the first result of City Health Outlook (CHO) project.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To mitigate air pollution-related health risks and target interventions towards the populations bearing the greatest risks, the City Health Outlook (CHO) project aims to establish multi-scale, long-lasting, real-time urban environment and health monitoring networks. A major goal of CHO is to collect data of personal exposure to particulate air pollution through a full profile that consists of a matrix of activities and micro-environments. As the first paper of a series, this paper is targeted at illustrating the characteristics of the participants and examining the effects of different covariates on personal exposure at various air pollution exposure levels.

Methods

In the first campaign, volunteers are recruited to wear portable environmental sensors to record th
