CE‑CERT is measuring real-world ammonia emissions from 2009–2024 light-duty vehicles, and finds cold starts emit the most ammonia, a precursor to PM2.5. These unregulated spikes could guide future clean-air policies. cert.ucr.edu/news/2025/05/2…

Even zero-emission vehicles can pollute. We’re measuring real-world brake & tire emissions to better understand their impact on air quality. cert.ucr.edu/news/2025/06/0…
