Exposure to particulate matter and life loss from traveling by four different common commuting modes

Comparing PM exposure among four common transportation modes, analyzing various influencing factors for specific modes, and evaluating public health effects caused by commuting exposure indicated that higher PM exposure was found in cycling, and substituting other modes for cycling could reduce adverse health effects during severely polluted periods.
