Quote from: Daryl Jenkins on Today at 02:47:52Where's the original paper so we can see the methods and who funded it?

Oh never mind, found it and this quote in the conclusion:

"...our extensive real-time field measurements suggest that particle resuspension at power cabinets is the most likely mechanism responsible for the observed particle emissions at these stations. Additionally, we observed elevated levels of brake and tire wear tracers (Ba, Cu, Zn) and dust tracers (Ca, Al, Fe) in PM2.5 samples collected near power cabinets compared to those from nearby chargers and background sites."

So quite simply... fans in the power cabinets are blowing particles that were already on the ground.

Another pathetic attempt to make EVs look bad.

As others have written, as no scientific basis for PM 2.5 to be caused by directly by DC fast charging. Information about PM 2.5 is correct. However, the greatest source in California comes from diesel semi trucks, especially around the three main ports of Oakland, Long Beach and Los Angeles. I have listened to hours of individuals and representatives of community groups pleading with the California Air Resources Board to please protect them from this health endangering, Life-Threatening, climate changing source of pollution by requiring the acceleration the of tailpipe free emissions electric vehicles in and out of the ports. Also, we hear about these same detrimental health effects around gas and oil refining facilities. This article is highly irresponsible in continuing to foster false beliefs that the the fossil fuel industry perpetuates to scare people away from making the necessary transition to renewable sources of energy, three to four times more quickly each year than we currently are in order to avoid the worst devastation of climate change that we are already seeing. I believe the author's intent was innocent but faulty in failing research further The real sources of PM 2.5 and if there's any actual validity to this so-called study.

I've enjoyed notebookcheck over the years sad that I jow have to block it from my feed.  There is no reason for this ridiculous low quantity of "news"

Correlation is not causation.

Basically the fans in the fast chargers stir up the dust around them. So this is just another article to agitate (scare) people.

Poorly written article. Given there's no known way to directly produce particulate pollution via charging, i thought the writer might search for scientific evidence to explain the mechanism (eg atmospheric particulate charging and attraction from high voltage), assuming the data is real and properly worried quoted.
Instead, just drivel.

More fake news from the legacy media... it's getting ridiculous now.

Lol everyone loves to say how much better Evs are. More proof they aren't

UCLA researchers have measured unusually high levels of PM2.5 in the air around direct current fast-charging EV stations, raising concerns about the potential health impacts of electric vehicles. The measurements were taken in Los Angeles County, California.
