| dc.description.abstract | The concentrations of benzene and 1,3-butadiene in urban, suburban, and rural sites of the U.K.
were investigated across 20 years (2000–2020) to assess the impacts of pollution control strategies. Given
the known toxicity of these pollutants, it is necessary to investigate national long-term trends across a
range of site types. We conclude that whilst legislative intervention has been successful in reducing
benzene and 1,3-butadiene pollution from vehicular sources, previously overlooked sources must now
be considered as they begin to dominate in contribution to ambient pollution. Benzene concentrations in
urban areaswere found to be ~5-fold greater than those in rural areas,whilst 1,3-butadiene concentrations
were up to ~10-fold greater. | en_US |
