This paper focuses on presenting the forefront of the interdisciplinary studies conceived towards the generation of the wear particles\r\naerosol when materials are subjected tomechanical stresses. Various wearmechanisms and instrumentation involved during stress\r\napplication and aerosolization of wear particles, as well as particles characterization, measurement, and modeling techniques are\r\npresented through the investigation of a series of contextual works which are emphasized on the identification of these aspects.\r\nThe review ismotivated fromthe fact that understandingmechanisms involved in wear-induced particle generation, both at nanoand\r\nat microscale, is important for many applications that involve surfaces sliding over each other due to various potential health\r\naspects. An attempt has been made to explain how the information based on this broad spectrum of subjects discovered in this\r\ncontribution can be used and improved in order to produce a more resilient, rational, and versatile knowledge base which has\r\nbeen found lacking in the present literature during its survey. The area of study is highly multidisciplinary since it involves aerosol,\r\nparticle, and material sciences.
