About 99% of the US land area has clean air.
Gasoline Particulate Filters now coming on vehicles in the US

That's what I do.
I got a nice pile of trash to burn in my coal furnace.
All of the geo-political discussions aside, is there a reliable accurate list of US cars with GPFs? Are they typically built into the Cats or a separate component. I ask because I have a 2020 Mini Cooper S, direct injected, no soot in the exhaust tips. My 2013 GTI was a real sooter. I have not found reliable info on whether or not the Mini has a GPF.
if there's no soot at all, it has a GPF. It's part of the cat if they did their work correctly as the cat heats up the exhaust gas
The SAP's (sulphated ash, phosphorus and sulphur) have impressive anti-wear and antioxidant capability. Reducing phosphorus will necessarily mean lowering ZDDP levels.
To me, the requirements of low SAP oil will mean that motor oil in the future will be even less suitable for classic cars (ie flat tappet) and less desirable for cars in the 10 to 20 year-old range. Hence they will be something to avoid going forward.
On a slight tangent, I thought that tires were responsible for a lot of particulate material, and heavier EV's cause more tire wear vs conventional cars.

The best place to check is here: EPA's Website. While I haven't checked your car specifically, I'm basically certain it doesn't because the 2025 is when they are starting to show up in mainstream cars and its mostly on a small amount of global cars not North America specific cars.
Moving forward, tires and brakes are probably gonna be responsible for a significant amount of PM.

What's next, particulate vacuums at each wheel well?
don't give them new ideas!!

Euro 7 emissions standards for light vehicles (ie not trucks) have no changes to exhaust emissions compared to Euro 6, but do now include particulate matter from tyres and brakes. Already been thought about
Copper was recently banned from brake pads and shoes in the US, recently.
That was because it's needed for all the EV's.
I thought it was because all the do-gooders, er, scientists on the CAFE committee decreed it.That was because it's needed for all the EV's.
CAFE has nothing to do with criteria pollutants standards, like particulate matter. It only deals with CO2 emissions, i.e. fleet average miles per gallon.
ULSG allows for the reduction in ZDDP and the reduction is not all that great. Nobody cares about flat tappet engines these days because they represent such an tiny portion of the fleet.
But the wording isn't correct. It should be a 95% in tailpipe emissions, not a 95% reduction in PM2.5 emissions from gas cars. It's conveniently omitting 25% of total PM2.5 emissions that come from the tires and brakes of gas vehicles.
What happens to a GDF once the car starts burning a little oil?
Seen it first hand... it's insane, most people could not imagine and heaven only know what I didn't see
Meanwhile, I was helping a family member out and paid $40 for a tech to confirm her late model VW did not have a check engine light so she can continue to pay taxes and drive it.
I didn't think it needed to be mentioned that a GPF would only affect tailpipe PM emissions when that is what the paper is about. I think them including the portion of PM emissions that come from brakes and tires is giving context to the tailpipe emissions. Cause a 95% reduction in where 75% of the PM emissions come from in light vehicles is still a significant reduction.
Burning a little oil is no problem, burning gallons and gallons of a high-SAPs oil would definitely cause problems.
Your screwed... Probably a couple hundo to clean/repair (If they will do it, since it will be considered part of the hallowed emissions systems). Or a factor refurb that will set you back $1-2k easy.
