| Abstract | Human health and well-being are strongly affected by exposure to airborne pollutants. Urban exposures play an important role because of the high number of people affected and due to traffic and industrial sources of air pollutants. Inner-urban differences of human exposure are often higher than mean differences between cities in a country. Additionally, the majority of cities is characterized by socio-spatial segregation. Therefore, public health in urban environments is strongly related to the location of the urban district in the city and the question of environmental justice. |
