Electric Cars: Pollution Problem!

Electric cars aren't as clean as people think. A shocking study from the University of Southampton shows that electric cars may cause more pollution than diesel vehicles. The culprit? Brake pads. These pads release tiny, harmful particles that can be more toxic than diesel exhaust. The particles, high in copper, attack human lung cells and are linked to severe health risks. While many are switching to electric cars in the UK, these non-exhaust emissions could pose a significant threat to air quality and health. The irony? Electric cars might still pollute, just differently.
