1. PMP-30-06

2. PM in Europe In EEA*-32 countries 3.6 million years of life lost in 2005 due to PM emissions (more than 8 months per citizen) About 50% of traffic related air pollution comes from abrasion (brakes etc.)

3. REBRAKE: GOALS & KEY-FACTS 1. At least 50% particulate matter (PM 10 ) mass reduction from brake wear, in compliance with the EU2020 thematic strategy of 47% reduction of particulate matter by 2020; 2. Deeper comprehension of the physical and chemical phenomena underlying the brake wear process, including higher comprehension and analysis of characteristics coarse, fine and UFP particles. REBRAKE Goals REBRAKE Partners REBRAKE Project Length: 48 months (March 2013-February 2017)

4. How does REBRAKE works

5. Some WP’s results from the first year

6. WP2: Pod test set-up Schematic of the test equipment. A: Room air; B: Fan; C: Flow rate measurement; D: Filter; E: Flexible tube; F: Inlet for clean air, measurement point; G: Closed box (Chamber); H: Pin-on-disk machine; I: Air inside box, well mixed; J: Air outlet, measurement points; L: Dead weight; M: Rotating disk sample; N: Pin Sample

7. WP2: Dyno test set-up 10 different bench tests with 170 stops each one (SAE J2707)

8. WP4: Particle characterization Collected particles from different ELPI stages (size range) are analysed with TEM and SEM to understand the different chemical composition and generation phenomena

9. WP4: Chemical analysis EDX, XRF, ICP have been employed in order to better understand the elemental behaviour
