The analysis of microplastics (MPs) in terrestrial environments and the evaluation their environmental risk has gained great attention, owing to increasing evidence for widespread presence soils freshwater sediments globally. Once environment, MPs undergo abiotic biotic processes which alter properties integrity: this process is called "aging" implications fate these contaminants, morphology surface chemistry. Aging may also affect analytical assessment samples: samples likely contain aged...
The environmental contamination and biological impacts of tire particles their associated chemicals is great concern. Variously termed as wear (TWP), road (TRWP), end-of-life tires (ELTs) to differentiate between possible compositions sources in the environment, these rubber are a major source plastic pollution. array added that leach into environment presents an additional environmental, toxicological regulatory challenge. In this review, we define several topic areas relevant study...
Environmental monitoring data for tire road wear particles are vastly limited compared to those other microplastics, primarily due analytical challenges with quantification. Recently, two ISO technical specifications have been released using pyrolysis GC-MS However, these methods major assumptions, including that the content of natural and synthetic rubber in tread is constant across formulations products chosen selective. This study analyzed a wide range commercially available tires from...
Tire and road wear particles may constitute the largest source of microplastic into environment. Quantification these are associated with large uncertainties which in part due to inadequate analytical methods. New methodology is presented this work improve analysis tire using pyrolysis gas chromatography mass spectrometry. Pyrolysis spectrometry styrene butadiene styrene, a component polymer-modified bitumen used on asphalt, produces products identical those rubber rubber, tires. The...
Road pollution is one of the major sources microplastic particles to environment. The distribution tire, polymer-modified bitumen (PMB) and tire road wear (TRWP) in different tunnel compartments were explored: surface, gully-pots wash water. A new method for calculating TRWP using Monte Carlo simulation presented. highest concentrations on surface side bank (tire:13.4 ± 5.67;PMB:9.39 3.96; TRWP:22.9 8.19 mg/m2), comparable previous studies, at outlet (tire:7.72 11.2; PMB:5.40 7.84; TRWP:11.2...
As one of the largest sources microplastic particle emissions, tire-road wear mixtures (TRWPs) pose a potentially high threat to various environmental compartments. Their heterogenous properties, from varying size, density, shape, texture, elemental and chemical composition, cause challenging analytical workflows. Current methods for TRWP can be summarized in two main groups: single-particle-based bulk-based methods. Both groups include large variation methods, with different demands...
Traffic pollution has been linked to high levels of metals and organic contaminants in road-side soils, largely due abrasion tires, brake pads the road surface. Although several studies have demonstrated correlations between different pollutants various traffic variables, they mainly focused on roads with medium density (>30,000 vehicles per day). In this study we investigating tire wear particles road-related (zinc, copper, lead, chromium, nickel, metalloid arsenic) soils low rural areas...
Tyre wear has been identified as a major road-related pollutant source, with road runoff transporting tyre particles (TWP) to adjacent soil, watercourses, or further through stormwater systems. The aim of this study was investigate the occurrence and transport TWP along system. Water sediment have sampled at selected points (road runoff, gully pots, wells, outlet ditch, stream) system situated highway in Sweden during November December 2022, March 2023. As there is limited data on size...

Tires are a major source of synthetic and natural rubber particles, metals organic compounds, in which several compounds linked to negative environmental impact. Recent advances material technology, coupled with focus on sustainability, have introduced new range tires, sold as "green, sustainable, eco-friendly". Although these "green" tires may lower impact the environment global scale, there is no current knowledge about chemical composition whether they more eco-friendly when considering...
Road tunnels play a crucial role in modern road networks, both urban and non-urban areas, necessitate frequent cleaning washing due to the harsh tunnel environment. As result, are considered hot spots for emission of road-related pollutants into In this study, we conducted extensive measurements tire wear particles (TWPs) 18 tire-derived chemicals (TDCs) during process, throughout 21-day treatment period rectangular sedimentation basin concrete, discharge treated wash water. Our key findings...
Sperm whales (Physeter macrocephalus) are widely distributed in the Norwegian Sea and feeding aggregations occur. One of these is Bleik Canyon, close to shore Norway, where present study was performed. The used a whale safari company as platform from which conduct photo-identification male sperm whales. Data for this comprised total 3856 images 22 seasons (1987–2010) whale-watching tours. In total, 411 individuals were identified. This supports results previous studies Canyon confirms...
