Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The traffic-generated PM emissions are classified into exhaust PM emissions and non-exhaust PM emissions. Due to the strict regulations for vehicle exhaust emissions and the rapid growth of electric vehicle (EV) sales, the contribution of non-exhaust PM emissions to the total traffic-generated PM emissions will reach 90% by the end of the current decade.
Brake wear particle emissions are a primary source of non-exhaust traffic-generated emissions. In November 2022, the European Commission proposed new Euro 7 standards to reduce the brake wear particle emissions so that the limit for M1 (passenger cars) and N1 (light commercial vehicles) vehicles is 7 mg/kg/vehicle until 2035, and 3 mg/km/vehicle afterwards. However, there are many knowledge gaps regarding brake wear particle emissions. The Special Issue aims at improving the knowledge of brake wear particle emissions including the tribological formation mechanisms, PM measurement methods, adverse health effects of brake wear particles, and brake wear mitigation approaches. A special focus is given to the brake wear particle emissions from EVs. Both experimental and simulation studies are welcome.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Atmosphere is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
