“…Additionally, very fine particles that are emitted through various road traffic-related processes (e.g., brake wear), can penetrate the human organs [23][24][25]. A knowledge of physicochemical properties and PM sources is crucial for determining the environmental effects of PM [26][27][28][29][30].…”

Along with house heating and industry, emissions from road traffic (exhaust and tire, brake, car body or road surface abrasions) are one of the primary sources of particulate matter (PM) in the atmosphere in urban areas. Though numerous regulations and vehicle-control mechanisms have led to a significant decline of PM emissions from vehicle exhaust gases, other sources of PM remain related to road and car abrasion are responsible for non-exhaust emissions. Quantifying these emissions is a hard problem in both laboratory and field conditions. First, we must recognize the physicochemical properties of the PM that is emitted by various non-exhaust sources. In this paper, we underline the problem of information accessibility with regards to the properties and qualities of PM from non-exhaust sources. We also indicate why scarce information is available in order to find the possible solution to this ongoing issue.

“…According to Jack N. Barkenhaus, eco-driving brings substantial benefits to individuals (lower costs and better personal safety) and society (reduced CO2 emission, lower oil imports, less conventional emissions and lower death rate) [17,18,19,20]. The authors of the article decided to investigate which factor -economic or ecological -contributes more to Polish drivers following eco-driving rules.…”

Abstract. In Poland, as in the rest of Europe, air quality depends primarily on emissions from municipal, domestic and road transport sources. The problems of appropriate air quality are especially important within urban areas due to numerous sources of emissions being concentrated in relatively small spaces in both large cities and small/medium-sized towns. Due to the steadily increasing share of urban population in the overall number of population, the issue of providing clean air will over the years become a more significant problem for human health, and therefore a stronger incentive to intensify research. The key challenge faced by a modern society is, therefore, to limit harmful substance emissions in order to minimise the contribution of transport to pollution and health hazards. Increasingly stringent emission standards are being imposed on car manufacturers; on the other hand, scant regard is paid to the issue of drivers, i.e. how they can help reduce emissions and protect their life and health by applying eco-driving rules.

“…In this respect, an interesting study on the exposure to trafficrelated pollutants and pulmonary function is worth mentioning. Badyda et al (2015) convincingly demonstrate, studying a cohort of close to 4000 inhabitants of a big city with congested motor vehicle traffic, that living in the vicinity of busy roads impairs respiratory function, as assessed by spirometry, which may give rise to bronchial hyperresponsiveness. The culprit is reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, and particulate matter, all of which enhances the oxidative-like state.…”
