“…Road dust consists of particles present on the road surface, generated by traffic or transported and deposited from near or long-range sources. Brake wear particles, RWP and TRWP originating from road and traffic, are major components of road dust, , but winter traction sanding, building sites, wind-blown dust from bare soils, and dust dragged in by traffic from connecting unbound roads can be strong local sources. Source heterogeneity is reflected in the chemical composition (a mix of minerals, metals, and organic compounds) often occurring as aggregates with a high temporal and spatial variability.…”

“…PM 10 EFs for resuspension on paved roads have been estimated using derivations from dust load, mobile measurements and vertical profile methods. Factors range from a few to ∼1000 mg·km –1 ·veh –1 for LDV and 150–8000 mg·km –1 ·veh –1 for HDV (using USEPA method based on silt loading and vertical profile of dust loading). PM 10 resuspension was between 13 and 32 mg·km –1 ·veh –1 for 10 sites in Milan, Italy .…”

Implementation of regulatory standards has reduced exhaust emissions of particulate matter from road traffic substantially in the developed world. However, nonexhaust particle emissions arising from the wear of brakes, tires, and the road surface, together with the resuspension of road dust, are unregulated and exceed exhaust emissions in many jurisdictions. While knowledge of the sources of nonexhaust particles is fairly good, source-specific measurements of airborne concentrations are few, and studies of the toxicology and epidemiology do not give a clear picture of the health risk posed. This paper reviews the current state of knowledge, with a strong focus on health-related research, highlighting areas where further research is an essential prerequisite for developing focused policy responses to nonexhaust particles.

“…The relative larger amount of dust in Santiago is probably related to the size of the city (1.7 million inhabitants compared to 90,000 in Quillota and 10,000 in Los Caleos), consequently there is more traffic and more activities that can resuspend dust into the air. Several studies have found that when there is little rain, materials that were previously deposited on road surface can be more easily resuspended (Amato et al, 2009;Karanasiou et al, 2011;Rienda and Alves, 2021). In addition Earlier work in Santiago has characterized the elemental composition of PM 10 and PM 2.5 with XRF.…”

In the last decade, many low-cost monitoring sensors and sensor-networks have been used as an alternative air quality assessment method. It is also well known that these low cost monitors have calibration, accuracy and long term variation problems which require various calibration techniques. In this work PM2.5 and PM10 low cost sensors (Plantower and Nova Fitness) have been tested in five cities under different environmental conditions and compared with collocated standard instruments. Simultaneously, particle composition (organic and black carbon, sulfate, nitrate, chloride, ammonium, and chemical elements) has been measured in the same places to study its influence on the accuracy. The results show a very large variability in the correlation between the low cost sensors and collocated standard instruments depending on the composition and size of particles present in the site. The PM10 correlation coefficient (R2) between the low cost sensor and a collocated regulatory instrument varied from to 0.95 in Temuco to 0.04 in Los Caleos. PM2.5 correlation varied from 0.97 to 0.68 in the same places. It was found that sites that had higher proportion of large particles had lower correlation between the low cost sensor and the regulatory instrument. Sites that had higher relative concentration of organic and black carbon had better correlation because these species are mostly below the 1 μm size range. Sites that had higher sulfate, nitrate or SiO2 concentrations in PM2.5 or PM10 had low correlation most likely because these particles have a scattering coefficients that depends on its size or composition, thus they can be classified incorrectly.

“…However, there are several caveats to this conclusion: first, we use the steady-state γ BET value here, which underestimates the reactivity of road dust at shorter ozone exposure times; second, since the composition of road dust varies with both season ( e.g. , via loss of water-soluble material during spring melt and/or changes in contributions of individual components) and location, 109 ozone uptake by road dust may also vary. Nonetheless, as road dust mass loadings are typically orders of magnitude lower than this value, 110 we conclude that suspended road dust is not reactive enough to influence ozone mixing ratios in the urban atmosphere.…”
