Petroleum-derived plastics are linked to a variety of growing environmental issues
throughout their lifecycle, including emission of greenhouse gases, accumulation in …

The generation of tire wear is an inevitable outcome of the friction between the road and the
tire which is necessary for the safe operation of vehicles on roadways. Tire wear particles …

Tire and road wear particles have been identified as a potential major source of
microplastics in the environment. However, more knowledge of the emissions and their …

Tyre particles are generated by shear forces between the tread and the road or by
volatilisation. Tyre abrasion (wear) contributes from one-third to half of microplastics …

With widespread, long-term historical use of plastics and the presence of microplastics in a
range of new and existing products, there is rising concern about their potential impacts on …

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 …

Traffic-related roads are an underestimated source of synthetic particles in the environment.
This study investigated the impact of traffic volume on microplastic (MP) and tire wear …

Tires are a very important part of a vehicle, necessary for the vehicle driving. During the
vehicle exploitation, due to the friction which appears in the contact between the tire and the …

The environmental impact of tire wear emissions has become increasingly apparent, and
efforts to reduce their impact on the environment are on the rise. To minimise the generation …
