Local environment and social factors in primary school children's afterschool commute in China
The rapid decline in young children's active commutes to and from school has prompted investigations into ways to raise activity levels. The period after school is recognized as very important in the daily activity regime of primary school children. In this study, we examine the relative effects of local environmental factors and socio-economic status on children's after-school commute mode cho...
متن کاملExposure to air pollutants during commuting in London: Are there inequalities among different socio-economic groups?
People with low income often experience higher exposures to air pollutants. We compared the exposure to particulate matter (PM1, PM2.5 and PM10), Black Carbon (BC) and ultrafine particles (PNCs; 0.02-1μm) for typical commutes by car, bus and underground from 4 London areas with different levels of income deprivation (G1 to G4, from most to least deprived). The highest BC and PM concentrations w...
متن کاملInvestigation of job stress among urban bus drivers with respect to daily noise and vibration exposures
Background and Objectives: Bus drivers are exposed to harmful agents such as noise and vibration which may led to increasing the level of job stress among them. The aim of this study was to evaluation of job stress among urban bus drivers with respect to daily noise and vibration exposures. Methods: This cross-sectional study carried out with participation of 103 urban bus drivers in Hamadan, ...
متن کاملChildren's personal exposure to air pollution in rural villages in Bhutan.
Exposure assessment studies conducted in developing countries have been based on fixed-site monitoring to date. This is a major deficiency, leading to errors in estimating the actual exposures, which are a function of time spent and pollutant concentrations in different microenvironments. This study quantified school children's daily personal exposure to ultrafine particles (UFP) using real-tim...
متن کاملChildren’s Active Commuting to School: Current Knowledge and Future Directions
INTRODUCTION Driven largely by international declines in rates of walking and bicycling to school and the noted health benefits of physical activity for children, research on children's active commuting to school has expanded rapidly during the past 5 years. We summarize research on predictors and health consequences of active commuting to school and outline and evaluate programs specific to ch...
