Sorry, but most car pollution is from the tires/tyres, not the exhaust. Electric cars don't solve that, and may even make it worse because they're heavier.

Your link does not say what you purport it to say. It limits things to particle pollution. It makes sense that tires will create more particle pollution, but gasoline creates a lot of gas pollution as well.

The tire & brake particulates go into the air. Sure, technically not gas, but we breathe it in just the same.

The parent was worried about "noxious gas", not rubber particles. Cars with an ICE have tires as well, unfortunately.

Tires are only about 25% natural rubber; the rest is synthetic rubber, heavy metals, plastics, and additives. These get emitted as fine particulates that stick around in the air. They may not technically be a gas, but we breathe it in just the same.
