Car Brakes May Be , Releasing Dangerous Particles , With an Adverse Impact on Health.<br/>'Newsweek' reports that new research <br/>suggests that braking in your car could <br/>have a surprising impact on your health. .<br/>According to a new study in the journal 'Proceedings of <br/>the National Academy of Sciences,' particles released by <br/>vehicle brakes may be more damaging than car exhaust.<br/>The research found that 55% of non-exhaust <br/>pollution is made up of brake-wear particles,<br/>with around 35% of those particles being airborne. .<br/>Those particles can then <br/>be breathed in by people, or <br/>absorbed by soil or bodies of water.<br/>The toxicity and health effects <br/>of brake wear particles <br/>are largely unknown, Manabu Shiraiwa, Study co-author and professor of aerosol chemistry <br/>at the University of California, Irvine (UCI), via 'Newsweek'.<br/>Recent results from my lab indicate <br/>that they may induce oxidative stress, <br/>but more research is needed, Manabu Shiraiwa, Study co-author and professor of aerosol chemistry <br/>at the University of California, Irvine (UCI), via 'Newsweek'.<br/>On the bright side, these particles are electrically <br/>charged, which means they could more easily <br/>be removed from the air than neutral particles.<br/>On the bright side, these particles are electrically <br/>charged, which means they could more easily <br/>be removed from the air than neutral particles.<br/>We found that up to 80% of aerosol <br/>particles emitted from braking are <br/>electrically charged, and that many <br/>of them are in fact highly charged, Adam Thomas, Study co-author and <br/>a doctoral candidate at UCI, via 'Newsweek'.<br/>'Newsweek' reports that these emissions are often the <br/>worst in areas occupied by lower-income earners, who <br/>stand to bear the brunt of the resulting health impacts.<br/>These areas are often in <br/>poorer communities and <br/>highlight an important aspect <br/>of environmental justice that <br/>has been largely overlooked, Barbara Finlayson-Pitts, Study co-author and an emeritus <br/>professor of chemistry at UCI, via 'Newsweek'
