Subject(s): Online resources: Summary: It is well known that particles in air affect both climate and health. Due to more stringent regulations of exhaust emissions, more efficient engines and more hybrid and electric vehicles in the vehicle fleet, the exhaust-related particle emissions from road traffic have steadily decreased. Conversely, the emissions of wear particles from tires, brakes, and roadway as well as resuspension of road dust, today unregulated, is increasing in pace with a growing vehicle fleet. Quantitative data on non-exhaust emissions (NEE) is scarce. In this project a novel method was develop and tested for measuring and characterising the emissions of resuspension/wear particles from individual vehicles in real-world traffic. Measurements were conducted at the VTI road simulator, at a test track and in real traffic. The estimated emissions were characterised with respect to vehicle weight, speed, and road dust load and its characteristics, as well as compared to emissions resulting from the NORTRIP emission model.
