Researchers from the University of Southampton found that certain common brake pads produce emissions even more toxic than diesel exhaust fumes.
These particles are 30 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair and are capable of slipping through the airways deep into the lungs' most sensitive tissues.
The most harmful brake pads were non-asbestos organic pads made of copper fibre, glass fibre, rubber, graphite, and resin.
The second most toxic were ceramic pads which also contain a high level of copper.
