Analysis of the quantity of particles emitted to the environment as a result of the brake linings wear of specialized transport vehicles

Abstract

This article examines the composition of particles emitted into the environment as a result of brake lining degradation during the braking of specialized cars. The amount of particles emitted into the environment has been theoretically studied, taking into account that the resource duration of brake linings on specialized vehicles varies based on the adhesion coefficient of wheel contact with the road. The distribution of metal concentrations in particles created by the brake linings wear during the braking of specialized vehicles is extensively studied. Traffic-related sources contribute significantly to particulate matter in cities. It was discovered that the samples collected during the braking of specialized vehicles contain high levels of metal elements such as iron, copper, zinc, chromium, tin and antimony. Currently, there is information about the negative impact of the particles formed during braking of cars on the environment.
