In the 2017 winter-spring period we performed static and mobile measurements of Black Carbon using our Aethalometers at different sites and cycling routes in Celje, Slovenia.
The results show that street intersections along the cycling routes influence the cyclists’ exposure to Black Carbon and should be as few as possible when planning cycling routes in urban areas.
Exposure can be greatly reduced by moving the cycling route away from busy roads, hence we proposed an alternative route and show that traffic planning and management should include all modes of transport.
