• At the charging stations, daily concentrations of dangerous air particles, known as PM2.5, ranged from 7.3 to 39.0 micrograms per cubic meter.
  • Urban sites without fast-charging stations had concentrations of PM2.5 ranging from only 3.6 to 12.4 micrograms per cubic meter.
  • The tiny particles likely come from particle resuspension around Direct Current Fast Charging power cabinets. Cooling fans designed to prevent the electronics from overheating can also stir up dust and particles from internal surfaces.

    Urban backgrounds n=4 and gas stations n=8

    are you fucking kidding me

    Why higher particulate matter was found in the air at EV-charging stations?

    Because your sample sizes are shit, which means your methodology is probably also shit and the report carries less weight than a shampoo advert statistics
