Decline in vehicle use in lockdown had no impact on reducing toxic particle emissions and suggests traffic is 'not a key contributor to air pollution', says Scottish study
University of Stirling took air pollution measurements from March 24-April 23
Experts analysed data from 70 roadside monitoring stations around Scotland
It found no significant fall in harmful toxic particulate matter - known as PM2.5
Research paper claims PM2.5 may have increased in people's homes, especially where cooking and smoking is taking place in enclosed spaces
