Owing to stringent vehicle emission regulations and the shifting automotive landscape towards clean-energy vehicles, the emission of non-exhaust tire-wear particles and its implications for microplastic contamination have garnered substantial attention, emerging as a focal point of research interest. Unlike traditional source apportionment methods involving direct environmental sampling, this study focuses on the physical and chemical attributes of tire treads, the tread temperature changes, and the tire-wear particle emissions of three light-duty vehicles manufactured between 2011 and 2021...
