Car tyres & brake pads produce vastly more particle pollution than exhausts

Hello and hope all readers are well.

Almost 2,000 times more particle pollution is produced by tyre wear than is pumped out of the exhausts of modern cars, tests have shown.

The tyre particles pollute air, water and soil and contain a wide range of toxic organic compounds, including known carcinogens, the analysts say, suggesting tyre pollution could rapidly become a major issue for regulators.

Traffic-related sources have been recognized as a significant contributor of particulate matter particularly within major cities.
