Abstract

As part of the Zero Pollution Action Plan of the Green Deal, the European Commission has set the goal of reducing the number of premature deaths caused by fine particulate matter (PM2.5) by at least 55% by 2030, compared to 2005 levels. To achieve this, the European Commission aims to introduce stricter limits. In urban areas, road transport is a significant source of PM emissions. Vehicle PM originates from engine exhaust and from tire, brake and road wear, as well as from road dust resuspension. In recent decades, the application of stringent emission limits on vehicle exhaust has led to the adoption of technologies capable of strongly reducing PM emissions at the tailpipe. Further, the progressive electrification of vehicle fleets will lead to near-zero exhaust PM emissions. On the other hand, non-exhaust PM emissions have increased in recent years following the proliferation of sport utility vehicles (SUVs), whose numbers have jumped nearly tenfold globally, and electric vehicles, as these vehicles tend to be heavier than corresponding conventional and older internal combustion engine light-duty vehicles. This shift has resulted in a more modest reduction in PM10 and PM2.5 emissions from the transport sector compared to other pollutants (−49% and −55%, respectively, from 1990 to 2020). This report aims to provide an up-to-date overview of non-exhaust PM characterization, drawing insights from the recent scientific literature to address this critical environmental and public health challenge.
