Dust levels on the Victoria line have significantly increased over the past year, becoming the worst on the London Underground, but remain below legal limits.
The study revealed that average respirable dust levels in drivers' cabs have more than tripled, from 0.13 mg/m3 to 0.43 mg/m3, with peaks at Seven Sisters.
While the Victoria line's dust levels are concerning, they are still below the legal maximum of 4mg/m3, indicating a need for improved ventilation and management.
Particulate matter in the Tube largely results from the interaction of train wheels with the rails, and ongoing monitoring of air quality is essential for driver safety.
