On 7 December at 4 pm CET, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is organising a webinar on "Non-exhaust particulate emissions from road transport" .
The webinar will focus on airborne particulate matter produced from the wearing down of brakes, tyres and road surfaces which, together with the resuspension of road dust, constitute a little-known but rising share of pollution from road traffic. These non-exhaust emissions can have a significant negative impact on public health and are expected to amount to the majority of all particulate matter from road traffic as early as 2035.
On such occasion, the forthcoming OECD report "Non-exhaust Particulate Emissions from Road Transport: An Ignored Environmental Policy Challenge" will be launched.
