Although plastic particles in the air are increasingly coming into focus, knowledge about their distribution and effects is still limited. Chemical analyses from Leipzig now provide details from Germany for the first time: Around 4% of the particulate matter consists of plastic. Around two-thirds of this comes from tire abrasion.
It’s long been known most of the microplastics come from tires and clothing.
The stuff from tires is in the air and the environment as road run off and the stuff from clothing is in the water from washing it.
This is where legislation is required, to start limiting tire dangerous particles emissions. 🤷♂️
Or we can just use publicly accessible information to find out who’s making these products and correct there.
I’d assume that all tires are more or less culprit - but yes, if better and worst tires are exposed, it’d be good.
