Carbon monoxide (CO) content was measured over an 8 hour period by a CO portable monitor. The fine suspended particles were measured according to the black smoke index (BS), with a flow controlled portable pump provided with a cellulose filter. The nitrogen oxides, NO and NO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>were measured with a passive sampler.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title><jats:p>These drivers are exposed during their professional activity to relatively high concentrations of pollutants (mean, median (SD) 3.8, 2 (1.7) ppm for CO, 168, 164 (53) \u03bcg\/m<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>for BS, 625, 598 (224) \u03bcg\/m<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>for NO, and 139, 131 (43) \u03bcg\/m<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>for NO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>.) For CO the concentrations were clearly lower than the threshold values recommended by the World Health Organisation. The situation is less satisfactory for the other pollutants, especially for the BS index. All concentrations of pollutants recorded were noticeably higher than concentrations in air recorded by the ambient Parisian air monitoring network and were close to, or slightly exceeded, the concentrations measured at the fixed stations close to automobile traffic. Pollutant concentrations were also influenced greatly by weather conditions.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>CONCLUSION<\/jats:title><jats:p>This first French study conducted in taxi drivers shows that they are highly exposed to automobile pollutants.
