Questions have been raised over the health impact of high levels of tiny airborne metal particles discovered in a European underground train system.
Millions of people travel on underground urban transit systems in cities across the world.
Researchers at Southampton University say metal in the air thrown up by trains running on metal tracks could pose a health risk.
Airborne particles small enough to be inhaled are known to damage health.
They increase the risk of developing asthma, lung cancer or cardiovascular disease.
