New research reveals brake dust from car brake pads may be more harmful to human lung cells than diesel exhaust, with newer copper-containing pads being particularly dangerous. While some states limit copper in brake pads, this pollutant remains largely unregulated, though electric vehicles' regenerative braking could help reduce this type of pollution.
