Tyre particles: How EVs are a climate solution with pollution problem
May 24, 2025 7:47 am
The study, published in Soft Matter, a journal of the Royal Society of Chemistry, has shown that EVs, on account of their greater weight, experience higher wear and tear in their tyres compared to conventional vehicles, and release substantially larger numbers of small plastic particles in the atmosphere.
Warming up to climate change: As greenhouse gases occur naturally, why do emissions from human activities matter?
January 16, 2024 11:21 am
In this series of explainers, we answer some of the most fundamental questions about climate change, the science behind it, and its impact. In the third instalment, we try to answer the question: ‘As greenhouse gases occur naturally, why do emissions from human activities matter?’
