High-resolution observation per 1.5 h revealed prominent time-dependent daily contamination variations of p-phenylenediamine (PPD) antioxidants and their quinone derivatives PPDQs... by Zifang Peng, Shijiao Hou, Qingyun He, Fangcheng Su, Lishun Ren, Congcong Pei, Dan Yin, Yanhao Zhang, Yanjie Huang, Shusheng Zhang, Zongwei Cai

“…Almost all daily time intervals with relatively high pollution levels of PPDs and PPDQs were commuting time for majority of workers, which was possibly because of increased rubber tire abrasion induced by huge traffic volume. The highest daily adults’ inhalation risks were also found in 11:30–13:00 and 16:00–17:30 for PPDs and PPDQs in PM2.5, respectively. …”
