Emissions Analytics finds pollution from tire wear can be 1,000x worse than exhaust emissions

Green Car Congress

Pollution from tire wear can be 1,000 times worse than a car’s exhaust emissions, Emissions Analytics has found. Vehicle tire wear pollution is completely unregulated, unlike exhaust emissions which have been rapidly reduced by car makers due to the pressure placed on them by European emissions standards. and 73% of PM 10.

New exhaust catalyst features thermal durability and high reactivity at low operating temperatures

Green Car Congress

Catalytic converters have been used in the US since the 1970s as a way to clean up pollutants from vehicle exhaust. As cars have become more fuel-efficient, however, they use less energy and the temperature of the exhaust gases is lower, which makes it harder to clean up the pollutants. Red: ionic Pt, green: metallic Pt.
