1. Particulates
Particulates (or particulate matter) refers to tiny solid or liquid particles that are released into the air from vehicles and road activities. These particles contribute significantly to air pollution, especially in urban and high-traffic areas.
- Vehicle Exhaust - Diesel and petrol engines emit particulates.
- Brake and Tyre Wear - Friction from brake pads, tyres, and road surfaces produces dust particles.
- Road Dust - Vehicles stir up dust and debris from the road surface.
- Construction & Traffic Zones - Dust from nearby roadworks, construction, or poorly maintained roads can increase particulate levels.
