Particulate matter (PM) in outdoor air pollution is one of the most critical factors that cause serious health problems and even deaths. One significant source of these particles are non-exhaust emissions, which refer to pollutants that come from sources, like brake, tire, and road wear other than a vehicle's exhaust system. This review focuses on the presence of non-exhaust particles on pavement, encompassing their classification, composition, evaluation, and mitigation. Based on extensive literature, it can be concluded that the quantity of non-exhaust emissions is affected by a combination of complex factors, such as vehicle speed, tire type, and pavement material. Non-exhaust particles can be classified into organic, inorganic, and metal matter, each requiring a distinct analysis and detection method. The effective approaches to managing non-exhaust emissions include water cleaning, utilizing functional pavement materials, and applying chemical reagents to alleviate emission capacity. Finally, this review recommends future research directions such as combining tire-road simulation with environmental monitoring equipment, in the hope that this article will have a positive impact on the mitigation of non-exhaust emissions.
