Project description:Background Airborne fine particulate matter with diameter < 2.5 μm (PM2.5), can reach the alveolar regions of the lungs, and is associated with over 4 million premature deaths per year worldwide. However, the source-specific consequences of PM2.5 exposure remain poorly understood. A major, but unregulated source is car brake wear, which exhaust emission reduction measures have not diminished.AQ1 Methods We used an interdisciplinary approach to investigate the consequences of brake-wear PM2.5 exposure upon lung alveolar cellular homeostasis using diesel exhaust PM as a comparator. This involved RNA-Seq to analyse global transcriptomic changes, metabolic analyses to investigate glycolytic reprogramming, mass spectrometry to determine PM composition, and reporter assays to provide mechanistic insight into differential effects. Results We identified brake- wear PM from copper-enriched non-asbestos organic, and ceramic brake pads as inducing the greatest oxidative stress, inflammation, and pseudohypoxic HIF activation (a pathway implicated in diseases associated with air pollution exposure, including cancer, and pulmonary fibrosis), as well as perturbation of metabolism, and metal homeostasis compared with brake wear PM from low- or semi-metallic pads, and also, importantly, diesel exhaust PM. Compositional and metal chelator analyses identified that differential effects were driven by copper. Conclusions We demonstrate here that brake-wear PM may perturb cellular homeostasis more than diesel exhaust PM. Our findings demonstrate the potential differences in effects, not only for non-exhaust vs exhaust PM, but also amongst different sources of non-exhaust PM. This has implications for our understanding of the potential health effects of road vehicle-associated PM. More broadly, our findings illustrate the importance of PM composition on potential health effects, highlighting the need for targeted legislation to protect public health.

Project description:Tire-wear particles (TWPs) are considered among the largest contributors of microplastics to the environment. They are subject to break-down due to environmental weathering, which allows for potentially toxic chemicals to be leached from and sorbed onto the particles. In this study, leachate generated from “weathered” and “un-weathered” TWPs were used for sublethal toxicity tests with Americamysis bahia.

Project description:Brake wear is an important but unregulated vehicle-related source of atmospheric particulate matter (PM). The single-particle spectral fingerprints of brake wear particles (BWPs) provide essential information for understanding their formation mechanism and atmospheric contributions. Herein, we obtained the single-particle mass spectra of BWPs by combining a brake dynamometer with an online single particle aerosol mass spectrometer and quantified real-world BWP emissions through a tunnel observation in Tianjin, China. The pure BWPs mainly include three distinct types of particles, namely, Ba-containing particles, mineral particles, and carbon-containing particles, accounting for 44.2%, 43.4%, and 10.3% of the total BWP number concentration, respectively. The diversified mass spectra indicate complex BWP formation pathways, such as mechanical, phase transition, and chemical processes. Notably, the mass spectra of Ba-containing particles are unique, which allows them to serve as an excellent indicator for estimating ambient BWP concentrations. By evaluating this indicator, we find that approximately 4.0% of the PM in the tunnel could be attributable to brake wear; the real-world fleet-average emission factor of 0.28 mg km-1 veh-1 is consistent with the estimation obtained using the receptor model. The results presented herein can be used to inform assessments of the environmental and health impacts of BWPs to formulate effective emissions control policies.

Project description:Non-exhaust emissions have become an increasingly important issue as their levels continue to rise and the health effects of particulate matter (PM) are more widely discussed. To address this issue, a vehicle demonstrator with integrated emission reduction of tires and brakes was developed as part of the Zero Emission Drive Unit Generation-1 (ZEDU-1) project. This novel concept includes the removal of tire road wear particles (TRWP) with a strong ventilation/filtering system and an enclosed multi-disk brake, making it a suitable tool for the investigation of non-exhaust emissions. Particle number (PN) and particle size distribution (PSD) measurements down to 2.5 nm were performed on a chassis dynamometer and on a test track. Due to the low background concentrations on the chassis dynamometer, it is possible to distinguish between tire and brake wear and to characterize even a small number of particle emissions. It could be shown that about 30 % less particles are emitted by the vehicle, when using the novel multi-disk brake instead of the conventional brake. The highest TRWP emissions were collected during acceleration and harsh braking. Characterization of the collected particles using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) revealed diverse particle shapes and differences between particles generated on the dynamometer and on a test track.

Project description: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. In situ measurements of particle concentration and size distribution showed good agreement with previous laboratory studies, indicating the suitability of the approach to investigate break particle emissions during real-world operation. The study demonstrates that particle size distributions can vary based on the temperature of the brake disk, which is influenced by the initial braking speed, with significant variations observed between speeds of 60, 80, 100, and 120 km/h. Particles with sizes between 6 and 523 nm were released into the air from the brake system, although it is likely that larger particles were also emitted but not captured due to the upper detection limit of the Engine Exhaust Particle Sizer. During harsh braking events, such as decelerations of 4.2 m/s2 from 120 km/h, a concentration of up 106 (#/cm3) was measured for particles under 8 nm. Moreover, scanning electron microscope analysis revealed that nanoparticles are present in the form of agglomerates, whose shape can change depending on the formation process. Elements present in the particles comprised mainly iron, copper, and aluminium, indicating wear of the brake pad materials and disk components.

Project description:The aim of the study was to identify markers for the early diagnosis of endoprosthesis loosening, for the differentiation between wear-particle induced and septic loosening, as well as to gather new insights into the pathogenesis. 824 genes were differentially expressed with a fold change greater than 2. Among these were Chitinase 1, CD52, Calpain 3, Apolipoprotein, CD18, Lysyl oxidase, Cathepsin D, E-Cadherin, VE-Cadherin, Nidogen, Angiopoietin 1 and Thrombospondin 2, and the differential expression levels were validated by RT-PCR. The chitinase activity was significantly higher in the blood from patients with wear-particle induced prosthesis loosening (p=0.001). However, using chitinase activity as a marker for early diagnosis, it has a specificity of 83% and a sensitivity of only 52%, due to a high variability both in the disease and in the control group.
