Overview
ABSTRACT
Fine particle pollution causes over 350,000 premature deaths per year in the EU. Despite the advent of the electric vehicles, emissions of non-exhaust particles (NEP) from transport, particularly those generated by tire-road wear (TRWP), will persist. These emissions are likely to affect public health, causing allergic reactions and respiratory disorders. This article presents the issues and challenges involved in studying TRWP emissions, in particular the variability of their mass granulometry. Finally, a solution for comparing these mass-weighted distributions of TRWP collected on different types of road will be presented via an in-situ study.

INTRODUCTION
Efforts to understand and mitigate the effects of air pollution on health and well-being have a long and rich history. From the 1930s onwards, the increase in morbidity and mortality linked to extreme air pollution events led to widespread recognition of the link between cardiovascular disease and high concentrations of airborne particles, also known as aerosols (Particulate Matter, PM). Today, air pollution is recognized as one of the world's leading causes of illness and premature death, and as the greatest environmental health risk in Europe. . Aerosols are one of the most problematic air pollutants (e.g. ozone, nitrogen dioxide, etc.) for public health. . In 2020, the World Health Organization estimated that these PM are responsible for around 4.2 million premature deaths, including 380,000 in the European Union.
