Emissions of Nitrous Acid, Nitryl Chloride, and Dinitrogen Pentoxide Associated with Automotive Braking Open
As worldwide trends move toward replacing combustion transportation modes with electric vehicles, characterizing non-tailpipe emissions, such as those from brake wear, becomes increasingly important. Nitrous acid (HONO), nitryl chloride (C…

Seasonal investigation of ultrafine-particle organic composition in an eastern Amazonian rainforest Open
Reports on the composition of ultrafine particles (<100 nm in diameter) in the Amazon are scarce, due in part to the fact that new-particle formation has rarely been observed near ground level. Ultrafine particles near the surface have nev…

Aqueous OH Radical Production by Brake Wear Particles Open
Particulate matter (PM) emitted from road traffic causes adverse health effects upon inhalation and respiratory deposition. Non-exhaust emissions will eventually become the dominant source of traffic PM upon transition to electric vehicles…

Automotive braking is a source of highly charged aerosol particles Open
Although the last several decades have seen a dramatic reduction in emissions from vehicular exhaust, nonexhaust emissions (e.g., brake and tire wear) represent an increasingly significant class of traffic-related particulate pollution. Ae…

Unrecognized volatile and semi-volatile organic compounds from brake wear Open
This study shows that volatile and semi-volatile organic gases are emitted during light and heavy braking. These emissions will remain as we transition to zero exhaust emission vehicles and must be included in air pollution and climate ass…
