ETRMA questions UK firm's findings on tire-particle pollution

摘要

UK-The European Tire & Rubber Manufacturers'Association(ETRMA)has responded to a UK emissions testing firm which has claimed pollution from tire wear can be significantly worse than tailpipe emissions.In a report published 6 March,Stockenchurch-based Emissions Analytics Ltd said"non-exhaust emissions"-such as tire-wear particles,brake wear and road debris-can be up to 1,000 times worse than emissions from exhaust."Our initial tests reveal there can be a shocking amount of particle pollution from tires,"senior researcher Richard Lofthouse at Emissions Analytics said,noting that non-exhaust emissions are not regulated.
