Cyclists do not have to worry about cycling in the middle of the smoke pollutionof motor vehicles. The study found that cycling in the midst of traffic passing a motor vehicle do not harm the health condition. Awareness for healthy living and pressed increased consumption of fuel with the advent of the habit of cycling in big cities.
Various previous studies did find a variety of negative effects of pollution exposure to health, particularly pollution from motor vehicle exhaust. However,when coupled with intense physical activity such as cycling, the harmful effectsof pollution to health is still very small.
A researcher from the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) want to seethe impact of air pollution exposure and volume as well as cycle routes cyclistshealth conditions. The findings quite surprising and encouraging cyclists.
"We found that breathing in air containing polluting vehicles along the roadsduring morning and afternoon only a small impact to the health of cyclists," said the researcher, Tom Cole-Hunter as reported by The Conversation, Sunday(18/03/2012).
Although the impact of pollution on health cyclists quite slightly, Cole-Huntersuggested that remains cyclists should not be challenged smoke pollution.Finding a route that bypassed fewer motor vehicles will certainly reduce the amount of dirty air particles are inhaled.
