Scope

  • Spatial limits: Helsinki metropolitan area
  • Temporal limits: year 2020
  • Type of pollutant: primary PM2.5
  • Source of pollutant: bus traffic

Definition

Causality

List of parents:

Data

List of data files or sources:

  • Database from EXPOLIS study (1996-1997) - individual measurements of total outdoor PM exposure
  • Database from ULTRA study - fixed monitoring sites

Formula

Total PM2.5 exposure/concentration was used as the starting point for the calculations of PM2.5 due to bus traffic, subtracting the contributions from other sources.

Ebus = (Ec-Elrt)/ftr*fbus

fi = (Emi * wfi)/Sum(Emi*wfi)

Where:

Ebus is average PM2.5 exposure to primary particles from local buses
Ec is exposure to total exposure to combustion originating particles
Elrt is the concentration of combustion-based long-range transport (average exposure to long-range transported PM2.5)
ftr is the ratio of local road traffic exposure to local CoPM
fbus is the ratio of local bus-derived primary CoPM to all local road-traffic-derived CoPM
Emi is the CoPM emissions in the Helsinki area (tn/year)
wfi is the relative weight factors to CoPM-emissions
Index i denotes different CoPM sources in Helsinki
wf is an estimate of the the impact of a unit emission on the average population exposure in the area

Unit

μg/m3

Result

Estimation of average bus-related primary PM2.5 in 2020 in Helsinki area
