A Practical Approach for On-Road Measurements of Brake Wear Particles from a Light-Duty Vehicle
Brake wear particles are generated through frictional contact between the brake disc or brake drum and the brake pads. Some of these particles may be released into the atmosphere, contributing to airborne fine particulate matter (PM2.5).
