Brake Dust, Diesel Exhaust

Vehicle Brake Dust Could Be More Harmful Than Diesel Exhaust to Your Lungs
Every time you hit the brakes, tiny particles of dust are released into the air. These particles, often invisible to the naked eye, come from the friction between brake pads and rotors. While much attention has been paid to the dangers of diesel exhaust,
Brake dust is harder on your lungs than diesel exhaust, study suggests
In a recent study, researchers found that tiny brake dust particles are potentially more toxic than diesel exhaust which could affect your health.
Car Brake Dust Can Be More Harmful Than Diesel Exhaust – New Study
When we think of urban air pollution, diesel exhaust emissions are often portrayed as a key culprit – rightly so, given previous research findings. However, our latest research shows that dust from brake pads could be more harmful to our lungs.
Study finds brake dust more harmful to lungs than diesel exhaust
Researchers found that brake-wear particulate matter has a greater detrimental effect on lung cells than diesel exhaust particles.
Brake pad dust can be worst than car exhaust
A new British study suggests that microscopic particles from brake pads could be more toxic than emissions from diesel engines. This finding raises concern
Brake pad emissions can be more toxic than diesel exhaust
A study has found microscopic particles emitted from certain types of commonly fitted brake pads can be more toxic than those found in diesel vehicle exhaust.
Copper brake pad emissions can be worse than diesel exhaust
The debate around vehicle-generated non-exhaust emissions took turn this week when research undertaken by the University of Southampton found that particulate matter from copper-enriched brake pads is more hazardous to health than that from a diesel engine.
Pollution from car brake-wear more harmful for lungs than diesel exhaust: Study
Exposure to pollution from car brake wear can prove to be more harmful to the lungs than diesel exhaust, according to a study.
Brake Pad Pollution More Toxic Than Diesel Exhaust, Study Finds
A new study from the University of Southampton reveals that brake pad emissions can be more toxic than diesel exhaust, raising concerns over non-exhaust vehicle pollution. Learn how copper in brake pads affects air quality and health.
Car brake dust more harmful than diesel exhaust emissions?
When we think of urban air pollution, diesel exhaust emissions are often portrayed as a key culprit – rightly so, given previous research findings. However, our latest research shows that dust from brake pads could be more harmful to our lungs.
Researchers say brake dust is more toxic than diesel car emissions
Because researchers from the University of Southampton have found that particulate matter (PM) from brake pads could be doing our respiratory systems more damage than the diesel c
