Original Note:
Misleading, the tests have not been peer-reviewed by scientists, and the industry disputes the findings. The claim tire emissions are 1,000 times worse than exhaust emissions is based on the flawed unscientific suggestion. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2024/feb/26/electric-cars-air-pollution-problem-brakes-tyres?trk=public_post_comment-text https://tireindustryproject.org/faq/are-tire-emissions-1000-times-worse-than-exhaust-emissions/
