This literature review concerns microplastics from tyre and road wear caused by road traffic.
As there is limited knowledge about microplastics in general, and microplastics from road …

Road markings are often listed amongst meaningful contributors to pollution with
microplastics. However, the reported estimates do not address the renewal frequency and its …

Road markings were sometimes reported as meaningful contributors to microplastic
pollution. To estimate their wear, 126 pedestrian crossings, which constitute the worst-case …

Road markings are road elements that require frequent periodic renewals (not replacement)
to maintain their key properties. To evaluate the impact of materials selection on …

An experimentally based prediction model of road abrasion wear due to studded tyres is
available in Sweden and has been found to work well. However, it has not been validated …

Wear at the interface between flexible pavements and tires influences pavement life,
pavement cycle costs, and tire consumption, and is a source of environmental harm. Wear …
