A new briefing paper from Imperial College London estimates that in 2021, 52% of all small particle pollution from road transport came from tires and brakes. Despite this, research on the environmental and health impacts of tire wear has been neglected in comparison to the research and innovations dedicated to tackling fuel emissions.

Almost one in seven of the world’s children, 300 million, live in areas with the most toxic levels of outdoor air pollution—six or more times higher than international guidelines set by the UN’s World Health Organization (WHO)— according to a new UNICEF report. No society can afford to ignore air pollution.

The first real-world, head-to-head comparison of improved cookstoves (ICs) and traditional mud stoves has found that some ICs may at times emit more of the black carbon particles that are linked to serious health and environmental concerns than traditional mud stoves or open-cook fires.

Health Canada is the Canadian Federal department responsible for helping Canadians maintain and improve their health; Environment Canada is the Federal agency tasked with, among other things, protecting the environment. I.e., the reductions in NO x and PM emission rates resulting from the introduction of new and improved vehicles (e.g.,

A paper on the study is published in the journal Atmospheric Environment. They also took measurements while walking along busy streets in downtown Toronto for comparison. Cars being pushed by diesel trains during a return trip had air that was generally cleaner than that next to busy city streets. 2017.02.015.

Although EVs have a greater GHG reduction benefit than CNGVs, they may increase life-cycle emissions of criteria pollutants, simply because coal is heavily involved. The original reason for developing EVs and CNGVs is to substitute oil, not to reduce emissions of GHGs or any pollutant. —Huo et al. Credit: ACS, Huo et al.

Manufacturers measure vehicle fuel consumption in a controlled laboratory environment. Further actions are therefore required, in particular on-road testing of fuel consumption and CO 2 emissions under real driving conditions and a not-to-exceed limit for the real-world gap, as it already exists for air pollutant emissions today.
