  2. 1. Non-Exhaust PM10 and Road Dust

    Author : Joacim Lundberg; Sigurdur Erlingsson; Mats Gustafsson; Sara Janhäll; Göran Blomqvist; Brynhild Snilsberg; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Road Dust; Abrasion Wear; Road Surface Macro Texture; Mean Profile Depth; Mean Texture Depth; Emissions; Abrasion Wear Model; NORTRIP; PM10; Air Quality; Particles; Vägdamm; Vägslitage; Dubbslitage; Textur; Emissioner; Slitagemodell; NORTRIP; PM10; Partiklar; Luftkvalitet; Byggvetenskap; Civil and Architectural Engineering; 15 Road: Environment;

    Abstract : Non-exhaust PM10 is an issue in the urban environment linked to health issues. Emissions of non-exhaust PM10 is relatable to pavement properties. Also of importance is resuspension of road dust stored from surfaces. This depends on the traffic and metrological conditions. READ MORE

  4. 2. Occurrence of Traffic-Derived Microplastics in Different Matrices in the Road Environment

    Author : Ida Järlskog; Yvonne Andersson-Sköld; Stephan Wagner; Statens väg- och transportforskningsinstitut; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; non-exhaust particles; tire wear particles; road dust; automated SEM EDX; environmental samples; optimized sample preparation; organic pollutants; street sweeping; traffic-derived microplastics; road simulator;

    Abstract : The prevalence of microplastic contamination has raised concerns about the potential risk and impact on the global environment. Traffic-derived microplastics, i.e., tire wear particles (TWP), polymer-modified bitumen, and road markings contribute to the emissions, and TWP are assumed to be one of the largest sources of microplastic emissions.

    Abstract : Brake systems are used to safely stop vehicles. The brake pads are pressed against the brake disc, transforming the kinetic energy of the vehicle into heat to be dissipated. READ MORE

    Abstract : Luftburna partiklar (PM) är ett problem för människans hälsa, där flertalet samband mellan negativa hälsoeffekter finns mellan luftföroreningar finns, bland annat för respiratoriska sjukdomar, lungcancer och kardiovaskulära sjukdomar med flera. I länder där dubbdäck används, till exempel Sverige, Finland och Norge, och sandning av vägar och gator genomförs vintertid för att säkerställa god friktion kommer en betydande andel av partiklarna från vägslitage och nedkrossning av sand vilket bidrar till PM10.

    Abstract : Since the investigation of wear particles in rail transport started in late-1910s, the high mass concentration of these particles has raised worries among researchers concerned with air quality. However, effective action has yet to be taken because of lack of relevant knowledge. READ MORE
