Review of Tires Wear Particles Emission Research Status

Abstract

Tires ae the only components of the vehicle that direct contact with the ground. Tires act as the roles of the vehicle loading, driving and steering and so on. In the process of driving, the small particles will generate from the wear between tires and ground that are released to the atmosphere, soil and river. Considering tires wear principle, test methods, environmental effect and the working process of UN WP29 GRPE PMP group, this article give the summary and analysis. This article will briefly describe the generation and physical characteristics of tire wear particles, also include the test methods, transportation path and environmental effect.
