A recently published series of scientific papers is calling for action to strengthen research and harmonize methodologies for the measurement and assessment of tire wear emissions.
The State of Knowledge: Tire Wear Emissions During the Use Phase series reviews over 850 peer-reviewed scientific publications from the past 40 years and states that it sees existing research on tire wear emissions as scattered, inconsistent and inconclusive.
Supported by the Tire Industry Project (TIP), the series consists of three distinct papers, each addressing a critical layer of tire wear emission knowledge. The first two published papers focus on the characterization of tire wear emissions and the assessment of their environmental impact.
