The London Underground is polluted with metal particles small enough to enter the human bloodstream and potentially cause health problems, research shows.
Dust samples from stations, trains and ticket offices across the network were examined by experts from the University of Cambridge, who used magnetism to detect tiny particles usually missed in surveys.
They found high levels of a type of iron oxide called maghemite, with some specks as small as five nanometres. In comparison, a human hair is between 80,000 and 100,000 nanometers.
