Cyclists and motorcyclists in Taipei were found to have different exposure levels to benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes (BTEXs), and PM2.5, with suggestions to reduce the number of scooters to decrease air pollution.
Bicycle and scooter commuters are known to expose to more traffic-related pollutants. Benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylenes (BTEXs), and PM2.5 were measured along four routes during rush hour and non-rush hour periods by cyclists and motorcyclists in Taipei, Taiwan. The health impacts were also evaluated using health impact modeling (HIM) approach. The average exposures of total BTEX and PM2.5 were 20.07 ppb and 23.27 mu g/m(3) for the cyclists and 33.96 ppb and 27.65 mu g/m(3) for the motorcyclists, respectively. Riding on an alternative route resulted in lower exposure. Scooters could contribute more to PM2.5 exposure than buses/trucks and passenger cars. Cyclists could have a lower risk of all-cause mortality and a single-pollutant HIM was found to result in underestimations. In conclusion, the number of scooters in traffic should be reduced, and commuters should be encouraged to shift from gasoline scooters to bicycles to reduce air pollution.
