Abstract
What Are the Findings? * Community residents are concerned about air pollution from traffic and other sources, roadway safety hazards, and community health problems. * Smoking had the most pronounced effect on individuals' air pollution exposure. * Personal air pollution exposure levels were not related to more general pollution levels reported from monitoring stations in Philadelphia. * Participation in personal air pollution monitoring and photography exercises helped to increase awareness of diesel emissions throughout the neighborhood and develop priorities for action. * Participatory methods are appropriate to involve lay persons in personal air pollution monitoring.
