2024年12月19日 · The issue of tire pollution is complex, as every step of a tire’s life cycle, from production to use to disposal, can impact our environment, health and wildlife. This story discusses EPA research on tire wear and 6PPD-quinone.

2022年8月17日 · Around 6 million metric tons of tire dust end up in our atmosphere and waterways annually. The Tyre Collective hopes its award-winning device can stop the microplastic pollutant in its tracks.

2024年11月8日 · Pollution emissions from tire production create significant environmental concerns. Tire manufacturing generates approximately 20 million tons of CO2 annually, contributing to climate change. The process also releases volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides, which can harm air quality and human health.

2022年6月7日 · Particle pollution produced by tyre wear is found to be 1,850 times higher than emissions from the tailpipes of modern cars, according to the latest testing.

2023年9月19日 · Researchers are only beginning to uncover the toxic cocktail of chemicals, microplastics, and heavy metals hidden in car and truck tires. But experts say these tire emissions are a significant source of air and water pollution and may be affecting humans as well as wildlife.

2024年4月9日 · We examine potential management and remediation approaches for addressing exposure risks across the life cycle of tires. We consider tires as pollutants across three levels: tires in their whole state, as particulates, and as a mixture of chemical cocktails.

2024年12月18日 · On a local scale, according to Andreas Stohl, now a Professor at the University of Vienna, the average tire could lose 4 kg during its lifetime, whereas emissions testing company Emissions...

5 天之前 · Tire plants consume large amounts of energy, water, and raw materials, while also generating various forms of pollution. The production process releases toxic air pollutants, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs), particulate matter, and sulfur dioxide, which can harm human health and contribute to air quality issues.

Sources and Solutions for Tire Particle Pollution. In 2021, SFEI published a report on tire wear particles that identified a broad spectrum of prevention and treatment options to address tire pollution.

Given their significant contribution to microplastics, recognizing tire pollution as a unique issue could help unlock targeted solutions and public awareness. This is what we need to address this growing environmental threat.
