OECD Green Talks Live - Non-exhaust Particulate Emissions from Road Transport: An Ignored Environmental Policy Challenge

Airborne particulate matter produced from the wearing down of brakes, tyres, and road surfaces, as well as the resuspension of road dust constitute a little-known but rising share of pollution from road traffic. These non-exhaust emissions can have significant negative impacts on public health and are expected to comprise the majority of all particulate matter from road traffic as early as 2035.

Projections from the forthcoming OECD report Non-exhaust Particulate Emissions from Road Transport "An Ignored Environmental Policy Challenge" show that electric vehicle uptake in future years will not reduce non-exhaust emissions and may even increase them. Join the team of experts the day of the report’s release on 7 December at 16:00 CET to discuss the nature, causes, and consequences of non-exhaust emissions and how policy makers can address this emerging policy issue.

16:00 - 17:00 CET (20-30 minute presentation followed by question and answer session).
