Ask and thee shall receive. Eagles are my favorite football team. This is an example of a subject with some HALF TRUTHS sprinkled in and then an ERRONEOUS conclusion is drawn. It is certainly true that small particles are given off when ANY 2 surfaces rub together. If you rub a metal file over a wood surface, you get saw dust. If the metal file was fine enough, you MIGHT (?) get invisible particles. Now the stretch of the truth occurs when they say that invisible tire and brake particles are going to hurt human lungs. And it would be true that the heavier the vehicle the more of these invisible particles would be sent out.
..........Now, one big "curve ball" to what was said in the article is that the 18 wheeler trucks that are traveling EVERY highway would have more tires and brakes and would be more than 10 times heavier than any known Electric car, truck or E-Golf Cart. So if these invisible emitted particles were killing people by injuring their lungs, then ALL the people at TRUCK STOPS, and truck drivers would be LONG dead from lung cancer.
