Implementation of regulatory standards has reduced exhaust emissions of particulate matter
from road traffic substantially in the developed world. However, nonexhaust particle …

Spark ignition gasoline vehicles comprise most light duty vehicles worldwide. These
vehicles were not historically associated with PM emissions. This changed about 15 years …

Tyre wear generates not only large pieces of microplastics but also airborne particle
emissions, which have attracted considerable attention due to their adverse impacts on the …

Brake wear emission is a significant contributor to vehicle-related particulate matter,
especially in areas with high traffic density and braking frequency. Only recently, non …

The generation of tire wear is an inevitable outcome of the friction between the road and the
tire which is necessary for the safe operation of vehicles on roadways. Tire wear particles …

The inorganic components of particulate matter (PM), especially transition metals, have
been shown to contribute to PM toxicity. In this study, the spatial distribution of PM elements …

Tires, bitumen, and road markings are important sources of traffic-derived carbonaceous
wear particles and microplastic (MP) pollution. In this study, we further developed a machine …

Tyre particles are generated by shear forces between the tread and the road or by
volatilisation. Tyre abrasion (wear) contributes from one-third to half of microplastics …

The transition of onroad vehicles from internal combustion engine vehicles to electric
vehicles (EVs) has been promoted in the United States at federal and state levels to reduce …

Metals emitted from brake linings wear have adverse effects on air quality and human health
due to their toxicity and reactivity. However, complexities of factors affecting brake like …
