Traffic-related air pollution has a large impact on the health of urban populations. There is sufficient data to conclude that chronic exposure to ambient air pollution is associated with the incidence and mortality from cardiovascular disease, especially ischemic heart disease, and from lung cancer. As well, there is overwhelming data implicating acute exposures to air pollution causing a variety of immediate health effects. There is no escape from air pollution, especially in large urban areas, although there are small-scale variations that depend on traffic and land use. Recent research suggests a strong association between the built environment and physical activity suggesting that compact urban areas contribute to decreased automobile dependency and increased walking and cycling. Indeed, Canadian cities are investing into cycling infrastructure, bike sharing programs, and large campaigns to promote bicycling as an affordable, environmentally friendly alternative transportation mode. Yet, while compact urban areas promote active transportation, they also trap pollutants in

与交通相关的空气污染对城市人口的健康有很大影响。有足够的数据可以得出结论，长期暴露于环境空气污染与心血管疾病，尤其是缺血性心脏病和肺癌的发病率和死亡率有关。同样，还有压倒性的数据，暗示着急性暴露于空气污染，从而导致各种直接的健康影响。尽管有小规模的变化取决于交通和土地的使用，但尤其是在大型城市地区，尤其是在大型城市地区。最近的研究表明，建筑环境与体育锻炼之间存在密切的联系，这表明紧凑的城市地区有助于减少汽车依赖性以及步行和骑自行车的增加。确实，加拿大城市正在投资于自行车基础设施，自行车共享计划以及大型运动，以促进自行车作为一种负担得起的环保替代交通模式。然而，尽管紧凑的城市地区促进了积极的运输，但它们还将污染物捕获
