TLDR
Under braking conditions, the particulate matter concentrations of brake wear particles (BWPs) sampled near the brake pad increased significantly and were much higher than the concentration of RWPs during deceleration, indicating that BWPs are one of the main sources of non-exhaust emissions.About:

TL;DR: It is concluded that reliable knowledge on transport mechanism to surface waters, concentrations in surface waters and sediments, effects of aging, environmental half-lives of TWP as well as effects on aquatic organisms are missing are missing and need to be addressed to allow for the assessment of risk ofTWP in an aquatic environment.

TL;DR: It is shown that atmospheric transport is a major pathway for road plastic pollution over remote regions, and it is suggested that the Arctic may be a particularly sensitive receptor region, where the light-absorbing properties of TWPs and BWPs may also cause accelerated warming and melting of the cryosphere.

Non-exhaust traffic emissions: Sources, characterization, and mitigation measures.
TL;DR: The data reported in this review highlighted the need for future studies on road traffic NEE to broaden their research area, and to focus not only on the standardization of methods and the introduction of regulations, but also on improving already existing technologies and mitigating strategies.

Lung Cancer, Cardiopulmonary Mortality, and Long-term Exposure to Fine Particulate Air Pollution
C. Arden Pope,Richard T. Burnett,Michael J. Thun,Eugenia E. Calle,Daniel Krewski,Kazuhiko Ito,George D. Thurston +6 more
TL;DR: Fine particulate and sulfur oxide--related pollution were associated with all-cause, lung cancer, and cardiopulmonary mortality and long-term exposure to combustion-related fine particulate air pollution is an important environmental risk factor for cardiopULmonary and lung cancer mortality.
