Abstract: Emission and Dispersion of particulate matter from the moving vehicle is a significant contributor to Traffic Pollution, particularly in urban areas. Vehicle-related particulate matter (PM) emissions arise from both exhaust and non-exhaust mechanisms, non-exhaust Emission mainly consists of tire wear, brake wear, and road wear. This paper presents the tire wear Emission from vehicles and determine the exposures in the Near-Roadway areas. The US EPA (the United States Environmental Protection Agency) is used to calculate the tire wear particles emission levels in the urban environment. Pollution dispersion modeling is performed using Breeze Roads software to study the near road pollutant dispersion by evaluating the meteorological parameters, transport flows, and concentration measurement evaluation. The main target was to evaluate the tire wear pollutant dispersion from the vehicle in the Roorkee, India.
