People can detect poor air quality well below guideline concentrations : a prevalence study of annoyance reactions and air pollution from traffic / Bertil Forsberg, Nils Stjernberg, Stig Wall

Sumario: Mortor vehicle exhaust fumes are the main source of atmospheric pollution in cities in industrialised countries. They cause respiratory disease and annoy people exposed to them. The relation between ambient exposure to air pollution mainly from motor vehicles and annoyance reactions in a general population was assessed. Also, the importance of factors such as age, sex, respiratory disease, access to the use of a car, and smoking habits on the reporting of these reactions was studied
