They believe that the particles – a type of iron oxide called maghemite – have been largely ignored in the past due to their diminutive size. But a new type of pollution analysis using magnetism has discovered the particles in Underground ticket halls, platforms and operator cabins. Since it takes time for iron to oxidise into maghemite, the results suggest that pollution particles are suspended for long periods, due to poor ventilation throughout the Underground, particularly on station platfor
