A cyclist's journey

Graph showing various level of pollution during trips.

A graph showing the levels of particulates encountered by a cyclist travelling on different types of paths. This graph shows that the levels of particulates tend to be localised. The peaks near roundabouts show how the density of traffic can affect particulate levels. What do you think could have caused the spike in particulates at 8:41 minutes into the journey?
