About 2000x more particulate pollution comes from tires than from combustion exhaust. Of course there are things that are uniquely bad about exhaust like NOx etc, but I don't think switching to EVs will make much of a dent in particulate pollution specifically

Tire and brake dust makes up the vast majority of car related air pollution and the emphasis on cars in general reduces resources for mass transit which are much more efficient in terms of reducing pollution.
