Direct measurement of brake wear particles from a light-duty vehicle under real-world driving conditions.

ABSTRACT: As tailpipe emissions have decreased, there is a growing focus on the relative contribution of non-exhaust sources of vehicle emissions. Addressing these emissions is key to better evaluating and reducing vehicles' impact on air quality and public health. Tailoring solutions for different non-exhaust sources, including brake emissions, is essential for achieving sustainable mobility. Studying emissions from vehicles in real-world scenarios provides a better understanding of their environmental impact compared to laboratory testing alone. This study presents findings on the direct measurement of brake particles and the characterization of this source of particulate matter in real-world conditions using a mobile laboratory.
