The IDAEA researcher Fulvio Amato will participate in the Green Talks Live, organized by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) with the talk entitled Non-exhaust Particulate Emissions from Road Transport: An Ignored Environmental Policy Challenge.
Airborne particulate matter produced from the wearing down of brakes, tyres, and road surfaces, as well as the resuspension of road dust constitute a little-known but rising share of pollution from road traffic. These non-exhaust emissions can have significant negative impacts on public health and are expected to comprise the majority of all particulate matter from road traffic as early as 2035.
Projections from the forthcoming OECD report Non-exhaust Particulate Emissions from Road Transport: An Ignored Environmental Policy Challenge show that electric vehicle uptake in future years will not reduce non-exhaust emissions and may even increase them.
Join our team of experts the day of the report’s release on 7 December at 16:00 CET (Paris time) / 10:00 EST to discuss the nature, causes, and consequences of non-exhaust emissions and how policy makers can address this emerging policy issue.
Duration: 1 hour (20-30 minutes presentation followed by Q&A session)
