Scientists from Columbia University are using innovative tools to study the effect of vehicle exhaust on cyclists. While most cyclists are used to simply shrugging off a blast of exhaust fumes en route, a growing body of research is suggesting that this exposure can have short and long-term health consequences. Columbia University researchers are using state-of-the-art personal monitoring devices to find out exactly how much of an impact air pollution has on the health of cyclists.
