EVs generate far, far less brake pad dust, most of their braking is regeneration via the motors.

Tires get more efficient every year, dust has reduced as the companies compete to make them last longer, and we're finally seeing the tire industry respond to pressure to reduce toxic runoff. Michelin's been removing phenols, for instance: https://resicare.michelin.com/news/michelin-resicare-resin-1...

I specifically said „improve“ not „eliminate air pollution completely“.
