Tire emissions – how brake particles influence the measurements

There are various influencing parameters that must be taken into consideration when measuring non-exhaust emissions. Therefore, measured data must be treated carefully regarding aerosol composition and emission sources to clarify emission behavior in different driving situations. This study highlights the difficulties and issues when measuring tire and road wear particles (TRWP), comparing the emissions from the front and rear axles. In this case, brake particles become one of the strongest influencing parameters that must be taken into consideration for analyzing emission behavior.
