Researchers at New York University looked at end-to-end round trips across 19 subway lines and 368 stations.
Found that the average pollution concentration on platforms was 139 micrograms per meter cubed.
This is compared to the World Health Organization's limit of 15 microgram.
The study found that even breathing in PM2.5 for a few hours can cause breathing issues.
