Lindén, Jenny | Thorsson, Sofia | Eliasson, Ingegärd
Spatial variations of Carbon Monoxide (CO) are examined in the urban environment of Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. Focus is given on the variations between urban background, roadside and in-traffic measurements. Results show significant differences between the three methods where average in-traffic values were 2-3 times higher than average roadside values and 10-12 times higher than average background values. During traffic congestions these differences extended up to 6 and 20 times respectively. Results are discussed in relation to human exposure assessments and WHO guidelines.
