With rapid economic growth and the development of transportation in the world over the last two decades, the number of motor vehicles in China keeps increasing at an annual rate of approximately 13%. The air pollution related to traffic has become the focus of attention, and the air pollution pattern in some large cities has been shifting from the coal-burning pollution to that mainly from the traffic. The traffic pollution deteriorates the environment and has been related to an increased risk of respiratory and cardiovascular diseases in the population. The current scene relating to particles and vehicular emissions in the United Kingdom is reviewed. The active research topics are health effects of particles, particle size, and composition.
