The mechanical systems of vehicles generate tribological waste particles due to wear and
the incomplete combustion of fuel. This paper presents an analysis of those particles as …

Health risks associated with exposure to airborne particulate matter (PM) have been shown
epidemiologically as well as experimentally, pointing to both respiratory and cardiovascular …

A large fraction of urban PM 10 concentrations is due to non-exhaust traffic emissions,
including road dust, particles from tire/road interface, and brake lining particles. Although …

In this paper, the current knowledge on tyre and road wear particles (TRWP) is compiled
regarding all environmental and health aspects. TRWP generated on roads during driving …

Health risks associated with exposure to airborne particulate matter (PM) have been shown
epidemiologically as well as experimentally, pointing to both respiratory and cardiovascular …

Airborne particulate matter is considered to be one of the environmental contributors to the
mortality in cancer, respiratory, and cardiovascular diseases. For future preventive actions, it …

Air quality is a critical issue because even small amounts of air pollutants can cause
significant adverse health effects. Road traffic is a major contributor to air pollution both …

Brake pads on wheel-mounted disc brakes are often used in rail transport due to their good
thermal properties and robustness. During braking, both the disc and the pads are worn …

Background It is estimated that over 80% of respirable particulate matter (PM 10) in cities
comes from road transport and that tire and brake wear are responsible for the 3–7 …

Background Fine particulate matter originating from traffic correlates with increased
morbidity and mortality. An important source of traffic particles is brake wear of cars which …
