Harmful particle matter from tyres – and also brakes – is a very serious and growing environmental problem, one that is being worsened by the increasing popularity of large, heavy vehicles.
LONDON: Pollution from tyre wear can be 1,000 times worse than what comes out of a car’s exhaust, Emissions Analytics has found.
New cars now emit very little in the way of particulate matter but there is growing concern around"non-exhaust emissions". To understand the scale of the problem, Emissions Analytics – the leading independent global testing and data specialist for the scientific measurement of real-world emissions – performed some initial tyre wear testing.
Emissions Analytics notes that this could be even higher if the vehicle had tyres which were under-inflated, or the road surfaces used for the test were rougher, or the tyres used were from a budget range – all very recognisable scenarios in"real world" motoring.
