Managing Alaska's Road-Dust Problem: A Model for Road Dust-Impacted Regions. [PDF]
J Transp Eng A Syst, 2020 Poor air quality in Alaska's remote communities due to road dust is one of the top environmental concerns of residents in these communities. Most communities are disconnected from the road network, with community roads that are predominantly unpaved. In Alaska, high costs limit widespread paving of roads, leaving communities to rely on alternative dust

Classification and Characterization of Tire-Road Wear Particles in Road Dust by Density. [PDF]
Polymers (Basel), 2022 Tire treads are abraded by friction with the road surface, producing tire tread wear particles (TWPs). TWPs combined with other particles on the road such as road wear particles (RWPs) and mineral particles (MPs), forming tire-road wear particles (TRWPs). Dust on an asphalt pavement road is composed of various components such as TRWPs, asphalt pavement

Regional and seasonal drivers of metals and PAHs concentrations in road dust and their health implications in the Czech Republic [PDF]
HeliyonWhile car exhaust emissions in the EU are clearly decreasing, the future of non-exhaust emissions looks more pessimistic. The relative importance of the latter is thus expected to increase in terms of air quality and human health.
