Beyond the tailpipe: Review of non-exhaust airborne nanoparticles from road vehicles
Yingyue Wei, Prashant Kumar
Abstract
emission levels have remained stable since 2020, without an observable reduction. Moreover, emissions attributable to brake wear are found to surpass those from tyre wear. Current mitigation strategies focus on material improvements for brake pads and tyres, better road maintenance, and regulatory measures. Mitigating the environmental and health impacts of nanoscale particulate matter requires additional research and regulations to control it at the source.
