Brake dust, often overlooked, significantly contributes to urban air pollution, accounting for up to 20% of PM2.5 at roadside locations, especially during peak traffic. Traditional braking systems release harmful particles that pose health risks, especially for vulnerable groups. As non-exhaust emissions rise due to increased vehicle use, the focus is shifting to innovative brake technologies that minimize dust emissions. Manufacturers are now utilizing surface treatments on brake discs to bind dust particles, effectively reducing airborne pollution. This technological advancement aims to improve air quality in congested areas, addressing a critical environmental issue.
Recent studies show that brake dust accounts for up to 20% of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) air pollution at roadsides, especially during rush hours.
Leading brake manufacturers are developing discs with surface treatments that significantly reduce emissions by binding dust particles at the source.
