新的研究表明,车辆的制动粉尘可能比柴油排放构成更大的健康风险。 New study suggests brake dust from vehicles may pose a greater health risk than diesel emissions.

南安普敦大学最近的研究表明,现代车辆的制动灰尘,特别是含铜制动刹车垫的车辆的制动灰尘,可能比柴油废气排放更有害于人类健康。 Recent research from the University of Southampton indicates that brake dust from modern vehicles, especially those with copper-enriched brake pads, may be more harmful to human health than diesel exhaust emissions. 这种刹车灰尘可能导致严重的肺炎和压力,与癌症和肺纤维化等疾病有关。 This brake dust, which can cause significant lung inflammation and stress, is linked to diseases like cancer and pulmonary fibrosis. 随着电动车辆越来越普遍,其重量的增加可能导致刹车、轮胎和道路的微粒排放增加,突出表明需要制定新的条例和制动垫配方来改善公众健康。 As electric vehicles become more common, their increased weight could lead to higher particulate emissions from brakes, tires, and roads, underscoring the need for new regulations and brake pad formulations to improve public health.
