Taxi drivers experience the highest exposures to black carbon pollution compared with other professional drivers, such as couriers and truck drivers, it has been found.

King’s College London found the health of taxi drivers working in congested cities was being put at risk because they were exposed to black carbon levels that are on average a third higher than would be experienced at the side of a busy road.
