Waste tires are solid wastes with large annual output and with the potential for great harm to
the environment. The pyrolysis of waste tires can recycle energy and produce reusable …

Urban stormwater and snowmelt pollution contributes significantly to the deterioration of
surface waters quality in many locations. Consequently, the sources of such pollution have …

p-Phenylenediamines (PPDs) have been extensively used in the rubber industry and found

Abstract Tire wear compounds N-(1, 3-dimethylbutyl)-N′-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine
(6PPD) and its derivative 6PPD-quinone have been considered as emerging pollutants and …

Synthetic polymer-based materials are ubiquitous in aquatic environments, where
weathering processes lead to their progressive fragmentation and the leaching of additive …

Urban runoff seems an obvious pathway for the transfer of microplastics (MPs) and phthalate
acid esters (PAEs) from land-based sources to the marine environment; an issue that still …

The environmental concern associated with waste tyre disposal and the necessity of
sustainable waste management policies has promoted the development of waste tyre …

Tire and road wear particles (TRWPs) are one of the main sources of particulate traffic
emissions, but measured data on TRWP contents in the environment are scarce. This study …

Crumb rubber granulate (CRG) produced from end of life tires (ELTs) is applied to synthetic
turf pitches (STPs), playgrounds, safety surfaces and walkways. In addition to fillers …

Tire wear particles are not only the type of polymer particles most prevalent in the
environment but also act as source of various organic micropollutants, many of which are …
