A Review on Vehicle Tire Elastomers and Tire Wear Particles: Composition, Degradation Mechanisms, Analytical Methods, and Predictive Multiscale Computational Modeling

Advances in Polymer Technology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The study of the properties, chemical composition, and degradation patterns of rubber materials used in vehicle tires remains a complex and interdisciplinary task. Rubber for tires—more precisely, complex mixtures of elastomers containing fillers, plasticizers, binders, and other additives—is a condensed chemically active material, the composition and ...

A toxicological comparison of tire and road wear particles emitted on rural and urban roads, alone or with the co-exposed pollutant benzo[a]pyrene: Size and origin as key factors in controlling the in vitro proinflammatory response

Environment International
Tire and road wear particles (TRWP) make up a significant and increasing proportion of non-exhaust emissions and contribute to air pollution. This study examines how the size and origin of TRWP affect their toxicological profile.

A Critical Evaluation of Nano‐ and Microplastics: Sources, Health Risks, and Mitigation Strategies

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Microplastics (1 μm–5 mm) and nanoplastics (< 1 μm) have become ubiquitous contaminants across air, water, and soil systems, with growing evidence of their presence in human tissues including blood, lungs, and even the placenta. While microplastics have been extensively studied, nanoplastics remain poorly understood because of their minute size and ...

Efficient pretreatment method for analyzing microplastics in urban road dust containing composite materials

Water Environment Research, Volume 97, Issue 2, February 2025.
This study evaluated an organic matter decomposition method suitable for MP analysis using urban road dust containing composite materials, focusing on the EZM and Fenton (FT) methods. The EZM method is useful for analyzing composite MPs, such as tire wear particles and road marking paints, and comprehensive understanding of synthetic polymer materials ...

Assessing the Biodegradability of Tire Tread Particles and Influencing Factors

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Volume 43, Issue 1, Page 31-41, January 2024.
Abstract Abrasion of tire tread, caused by friction between vehicle tires and road surfaces, causes release of tire wear particles (TWPs) into various environmental compartments. These TWPs contribute to chemical, microplastic, and particulate matter pollution.

Integrated machine learning and experimental validation reveal S6K2 as a key target of 6PPD-quinone in bladder cancer

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Tire and Road Wear Particles (TRWP) are pervasive environmental contaminants, yet the molecular mechanisms linking their toxic derivative, 6PPD-quinone (6PPD-Q), to bladder cancer (BLCA) progression remain obscure.

Ecological risk assessment of tire and road wear particles : a preliminary screening for freshwater sources in Canada

, 2023
Approximately 1.5 billion tires/year are produced worldwide. Tire tread wear particles due to road abrasion are a major source of environmental microplastic pollution and 5.9 million tonnes/year of tire and road wear particles (TRWP) are emitted globally.

Quantification and occurrence of 39 tire-related chemicals in urban and rural aerosol from Saxony, Germany

Environment International
Tire and road wear particles (TRWP) are a major contributor to non-exhaust traffic emissions, but their contribution to and dynamics in urban aerosol is not well known. Urban particulate matter (PM) in the size fraction below 10 µm (PM10) from two German
