Public concerns on microplastic (MP) pollution and its prevalence in urban runoff have
grown exponentially. Huge amounts of MPs are transported from urban environments via …

The environmental contamination and biological impacts of tire particles and their
associated chemicals is of great concern. Variously termed as tire wear particles (TWP), tire …

Seas are polluted with macro-(> 5 mm) and microplastics (< 5 mm). However, few studies
account for both types when modeling water quality, thus limiting our understanding of the …

Tire wear particles (TWP) are assumed to be one of the major sources of microplastic
pollution to the environment. However, many of the previously published studies are based …

In this study, seven roads and parking lots were sampled by a road surface cleaning truck
and approximately 100 kg of particulate material was collected per site. Thereafter, the …

The impact of microplastics (MPs, plastic particles≤ 5 mm) on ecosystems is of great
concern. Road surfaces represent a significant source of MPs where plastic fragments are …

Traffic pollution has been linked to high levels of metals and organic contaminants in road-
side soils, largely due to abrasion of tires, brake pads and the road surface. Although …

Microplastic pollution became one of the most researched current environmental topics.
Road markings are often listed amongst important microplastic pollution sources, but there is …

As one of the largest sources of microplastic particle emissions, tire-road wear particle
mixtures (TRWPs) pose a potentially high threat to various environmental compartments …

To enhance tire durability, the antioxidant N-(1, 3-dimethylbutyl)-N′-phenyl-p-
phenylenediamine (6PPD) is used in rubber, but it converts into the toxic 6PPD quinone …
