Ecotoxicological effects of atmospheric particulate produced by braking systems on aquatic and edaphic organisms

Vehicles generate particulate matter (PM) in significant amounts as their brake systems wear. These particles can influence air quality and their transport/deposition may affect the edaphic and aquatic ecosystems. As part of the LOWBRASYS H2020 project, new more eco-friendly brake disc and pad formu...
