SPOTLIGHT ISSUE
Do Urban Highways Make Us Cough?
Intensive monitoring of air quality near a major highway intersection
could reveal a lot about how the air outside affects the air in our
indoor environment. A team of scientists is establishing a unique
air quality monitoring system that will help researchers learn
more about urban air quality and how traffic in densely populated areas
affects the health of people who live near busy highways.
