“This is the first time anyone has counted the particles while also measuring...”
–  The research showed that urban concentrations of nanoparticles, which measure just a few millionths of a millimetre, could reach several hundred thousand in a cubic centimetre of air. Because they are exerting themselves, cyclists breathe harder and faster than other road users. The study found...
