Analysis of tire wear airstrip particles (TWAP) [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Tire wear is a main contributor to microplastics. As we cannot fully avoid tire wear, otherwise we could not brake and stop, new solutions are needed to address this problem.

Magnetic Extraction of Weathered Tire Wear Particles and Polyethylene Microplastics. [PDF]
Polymers (Basel), 2022 Magnetic extraction offers a rapid and low-cost solution to microplastic (MP) separation, in which we magnetize the hydrophobic surface of MPs to separate them from complex environmental matrices using magnets. We synthesized a hydrophobic Fe-silane based nanocomposite (Fe@SiO2/MDOS) to separate MPs from freshwater. Pristine and weathered, polyethylene

Human airway organoids as 3D in vitro models for a toxicity assessment of emerging inhaled pollutants: Tire wear particles [PDF]
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023 Three-dimensional (3D) structured organoids have become increasingly promising and effective in vitro models, and there is an urgent need for reliable models to assess health effects of inhaled pollutants on the human airway. In our study, we conducted a

Are northern communities an overlooked source of microplastics and tire wear particles in the Arctic? [PDF]
PeerJMicroplastic particles (plastic 1 µm to 5 mm in length) are a contaminant of emerging concern in Arctic environments; nonetheless, few studies have evaluated atmospheric microplastics in Arctic communities.

Vehicle–Road Wear Microplastics: Fragmented Understanding of Their Impacts on Environment [PDF]
ResearchVehicle–road wear microplastics (VRWMPs) are microplastic-sized polymer-containing particles generated from the vehicle–road system, including tire–road wear particles (TRWPs) as the dominant composite class and other polymer-bearing wear debris (e.g ...
