The Commuter Cold and Particulate Matter
If you frequently take the subway to work, you’re probably well aware of some of the disadvantages to public transportation like the “commuter cold.” The effects of germs spread through public transit generally pass within the week, but are you aware of the long-lasting impact of train pollution?
According to the Journal of Aerosol Science, the typical commuter spends 3% of their day inside the subway system, but that accounts for 47% of their daily exposure to particulate matter.
