Car exhaust filters fail to clean up ‘ultrafine’ air pollution

This is the most stupid thing I have read, and it makes me angry, becuase it's just the anti-electric car movement. As a person heavily affected with asthma, I get very sick whenever ICE vehicles are going nearbly, or somebody smokes a cigarette, or starts burning their furniture. I never felt sick from car tyres of electric cars.

Maybe the people who are not affected shouldn't try to guess, when many of as as we are getting older feel the difference and it affects our life.

Nice anecdata, bro.

"... researchers have generally found that exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is associated with the development of asthma and other respiratory and cardiovascular diseases."

"Under a modest assumption of electric vehicle uptake in which 4% of vehicles are electric by 2030, total non-exhaust emissions from passenger traffic are expected to rise by 53.5%. Assuming a doubling of electric vehicle uptake still leads to a 52.4% increase in non-exhaust emissions over this period."

Maybe google it or something.
