Preparation and Characterization of Model Tire–Road Wear Particles

Polymers, 2022
Tire tread wear particles (TWPs) are one of major sources of microplastics in the environment. Tire–road wear particles (TRWPs) are mainly composed of TWPs and mineral particles (MPs), and many have long shapes. In the present work, a preparation method of model TRWPs similar to those found in the environment was developed. The model TRWPs were made of

Characterization of tire and road wear particles in experimental biota samples

Scientific Reports
There is a growing interest in the development of reliable analytical methods for characterizing tire and road wear particles (TRWP). The current research extends the use of single particle analysis techniques to various experimental biota samples.

The Importance of Tire Wear Particles for Atmospheric Ice Nucleation

Geophysical Research Letters
Tire wear particles (TWPs) are prevalent microplastic particles in the atmosphere and pose significant environmental and health risks to humans. Here, we investigated the ice nucleation activity (INA) of TWPs under mixed‐phase cloud conditions (∼−20.0°C

A study of the direct emission of tire wear particles on different types of roads

Science of the Total Environment
In the range of 5-6 Mt/y tire wear particles (TWP) are emitted from vehicles in both developed and emerging countries. In an attempt to reduce these emissions, new regulations will come into force in the EU and USA, although currently no oversight methods are actually in place. This study proposes a method for assessing direct TWP emissions (TWPD) from

Shades of grey—tire characteristics and road surface influence tire and road wear particle (TRWP) abundance and physicochemical properties

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2023
There is mounting evidence that tire wear particles can harm natural systems, but worldwide trends in car weight and car usage, mean emissions are set to increase.

Ingestion of car tire crumb rubber and uptake of associated chemicals by lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus)

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2023
Car tire rubber constitutes one of the largest fractions of microplastics emissions to the environment. The two main emission sources are tire wear particles (TWPs) formed through abrasion during driving and runoff of crumb rubber (CR) granulate produced

Tire wear particles concentrations in gully pot sediments

Science of The Total Environment, 2021
While tire wear and tear is known to be a major source of microplastics in the environment, its monitoring is still hampered by the lack of analytical methods able to provide concentrations in environmental matrices. Tire wear particles (TWP) present in road runoff enter the drainage system through gully pots, built to prevent sediment deposition in ...

The Response of Duckweed Lemna minor to Microplastics and Its Potential Use as a Bioindicator of Microplastic Pollution

Plants, 2022
Biomonitoring has become an indispensable tool for detecting various environmental pollutants, but microplastics have been greatly neglected in this context.
