The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) funded the Washington Commuter Microenvironmental Study in 1982. One purpose of the study was to develop a microenvironmental model of commuter exposure to motor vehicle exhaust by using CO as an indicator pollutant of exhaust; and personal exposure monitors, equipped with advanced data loggers. To measure and store exposure data. The model, which is presented in this paper, is intended to help the EPA fine tune the CO emission standard and to demonstrate the validity of the microenvironmental approach to modeling commuter exposure to vehicle exhaust in traffic.
