Plastic and Waste Tire Pyrolysis Focused on Hydrogen Production—A Review
Hydrogen, 2022 In this review, we compare hydrogen production from waste by pyrolysis and bioprocesses. In contrast, the pyrolysis feed was limited to plastic and tire waste unlikely to be utilized by biological decomposition methods. Recent risks of pyrolysis, such as

Degradation of contaminated plastics: a kinetic study
Polymer Degradation and Stability, 1995 The thermal degradation of polypropylene (PP), polyacrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polyurethane (PU) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) have been studied in the presence of copper, iron oxide and dirt. The rate constants and kinetic parameters for the degradation processes have been measured using the variable heating rate isoconversion method.

Chemical Contaminants from Plastics in the Animal Environment [PDF]
Journal of the American Association for Laboratory Animal Science, 2019 Accidental exposure of our mice to bisphenol A (BPA) from damaged polycarbonate cages 20 y ago provided some of the first evidence of the harmful effects of exposure to this common chemical. Recently we found that housing mice in damaged polysulfone cages resulted in similar harmful effects due to exposure to bisphenol S (BPS).
