I don't think so. In cities quality of air will increase dramatically once majority of ICEs is migrated to EVs. Obviously it will be even better if many private vehicles are replaced by public transportation. But one is not excluding the other.

- waterheater 3y agoFrom the article linked below: >The company found that a car’s four tires collectively emit 1 trillion ultrafine particles — of less than 100 nanometers — per kilometer driven. These particles, a growing number of experts say, pose a unique health risk: They are so small they can pass through lung tissue into the bloodstream and cross the blood-brain barrier or be breathed in and travel directly to the brain, causing a range of problems. That's extraordinarily problematic for human beings, particularly if storm water runoff finds its way into a city's water supply.
