Concentrations of Tire Additive Chemicals and Tire Road Wear Particles in an Australian Urban Tributary

Cassandra Rauert et al.

Summary: Tire road wear particles are a significant source of microplastics in urban environments, and they also facilitate the release of additive chemicals into the environment. Stormwater plays a major role in transporting both tire wear particles and additives to urban surface water. During severe storm events, the concentration of additives increased more than 40 times, and there was a strong correlation between the concentrations of tire wear particles and all additives.

A novel method for the quantification of tire and polymer-modified bitumen particles in environmental samples by pyrolysis gas chromatography mass spectroscopy

Elisabeth S. Rodland et al.

Summary: A new methodology using pyrolysis gas chromatography mass spectrometry has been introduced to improve the analysis of tire and road wear particles. This method provides good recoveries for both simple and complex matrices, and has been successfully applied to urban snow, road-side soil and gully-pot sediment samples for quantifying tire and road wear particles.

Occurrence of tire and road wear particles in urban and peri-urban snowbanks, and their potential environmental implications

Elisabeth S. Rodland et al.

Summary: Studies have shown that tire and road wear particles are major sources of microplastic contamination. There is a wide variation in the mass concentrations and snow mass loads of these particles in snow. Contrary to previous findings, the speed limit is found to be a key variable impacting the mass concentrations. The presence of large amounts of suspended solids in roadside snow highlights the need for treatment before release into the environment.

Challenges with Quantifying Tire Road Wear Particles: Recognizing the Need for Further Refinement of the ISO Technical Specification

Cassandra Rauert et al.

Summary: Environmental monitoring data on tire road wear particles are limited due to challenges in quantification. A study on commercially available tires from Australia and Norway found that synthetic rubber content varied significantly among different brands and models, suggesting the need for refinement of the ISO method and large-scale analysis of commercial tire treads.

Quantifying the release of tyre wear particles to the marine environment via multiple pathways

Florence N. F. Parker-Jurd et al.

Summary: Desk-based studies have shown that tyre wear particles contribute significantly to microplastic emissions in the environment. Empirical studies revealed the presence of benzothiazole, a molecular marker for tyres, in samples collected from different pathways to the marine environment. Laboratory tests suggested that larger particles tend to settle near their entry points, while smaller particles have the potential for longer-range transport and dispersal.

Comprehensive characterization of tire and road wear particles in highway tunnel road dust by use of size and density fractionation

Philipp Klockner et al.

Summary: Through fractionation and analysis of tunnel road dust, it was found that TRWP content was high and mainly concentrated in the 20-50 mm size fraction, while organic tire constituents were mainly concentrated in the smallest size fraction. Biological analysis showed that solvent extracts from size and density fractions had effects on the arylhydrocarbon receptor and the adaptive response to oxidative stress.

Car and truck tire wear particles in complex environmental samples - A quantitative comparison with traditional microplastic polymer mass loads

Isabel Gossmann et al.

Summary: Tire wear particles are identified as a major source of environmental microplastics, posing a threat to the ecosystem. Results show that car tire wear dominates over truck tire wear in terms of mass loads, with significantly higher concentrations of tire wear particles compared to traditional microplastics.
