(a) Total number concentration in the flow reactor over the tribometer running time. Solid light blue and magenta lines represent the equivalent ambient ages of 7 days (condition I) and 9 days (condition II), respectively, whereas the dashed lines are the repeat for each equivalent age. The dash-dotted dark blue line represents a control experiment where the tribometer was run without a brake pin. (b) Corresponding number size distribution over time for an experiment performed at 9 days equivalent age. The times highlighted in yellow indicate the period when the tribometer was turned on (i.e. when wear emissions were generated).
