According to a research team at the University of Toronto, we analyzed and analyzed air samples of 100,000 automobiles running on Toronto's urban roads, and as a result, 25% of the cars were 95% of the carbon pollutant, 95% carbon monoxide 93% · It turned out that 76% of the volatile organic compound was generated. The black carbon is "soot" and the volatile organic compound is benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, xylene known as carcinogen.

Air pollution has a great influence on the human body such as heart disease, cancer, asthma, etc. It is also related to the delay in the cognitive development of children. According to the Canadian Medical Association, 21,000 people are prematurely annually due to air pollution. Researcher Greg Mr. is particularly concerned because ultrafine particles that are 1000 times smaller than human hair as an air pollutant invade the lung and run around the body. According to Greg, if you live near a road with heavy traffic, you will live in a place where air pollution is serious. However, the situation is complicated, as there are less air pollution in suburban high traffic areas than in the city center high traffic area with heavy traffic.

Mr. Greg's research team thinks that some cars which are the main cause of air pollution should be improved. Also, it is pointed out that creating a road near schools, hospitals, nursing homes and so on is also a problem, and it seems to be useful for selection of the construction site of the facility by making use of this research.
