Sources and properties of non-exhaust particulate matter from road traffic: a review.

TL;DR: It is concluded that with the exception of brake dust particles which may be identified from their copper (Cu) and antimony (Sb) content, unequivocal identification of particles from other sources is likely to prove extremely difficult, either because of the lack of suitable tracer elements or compounds, or of the interactions between sources prior to the emission process.
Journal ArticleDOI

Estimation of the contribution of road traffic emissions to particulate matter concentrations from field measurements: A review

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the nature of the particle emissions from road vehicles including both exhaust and non-exhaust (abrasion and re-suspension sources) and briefly reviewed the various methods available for quantification of the road traffic contribution.
Journal ArticleDOI

Wear and Tear of Tyres: A Stealthy Source of Microplastics in the Environment.

TL;DR: It is concluded here that tyre wear and tear is a stealthy source of microplastics in the authors' environment, which can only be addressed effectively if awareness increases, knowledge gaps on quantities and effects are being closed, and creative technical solutions are being sought.
Journal ArticleDOI

Occurrence and effects of tire wear particles in the environment--a critical review and an initial risk assessment.

TL;DR: It is suggested that management should be directed towards development and production of more environmentally friendly tires and improved road runoff treatment and the upper ranges for PEC/PNEC ratios in water and sediment were >1, meaning that tire wear particles present potential risks for aquatic organisms.

Tyre and road wear particles (TRWP) - A review of generation, properties, emissions, human health risk, ecotoxicity, and fate in the environment

TL;DR: Concentrations of tyre wear compiled from environmental monitoring studies show highly variable concentrations in road runoff, road dust, roadside soils, river sediments and river water, with a general decrease following the transport paths, however, the behaviour of TRWP in freshwater referring to transport, degradation, and sedimentation is still unclarified.

Latex allergens in tire dust and airborne particles.

TL;DR: The latex allergens or latex cross-reactive material present in sedimented and airborne particulate material, derived from tire debris, and generated by heavy urban vehicle traffic could be important factors in producing latex allergy and asthma symptoms associated with air pollution particles.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microcharacterization and identification of tire debris in heterogeneous laboratory and environmental specimens

TL;DR: In this paper, the characterization of debris particles and their identification in heterogeneous specimens, which come from laboratory wear tests and from the environment, are solved by analytical electron microscopy (EM).
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of Dispersions

TL;DR: The methods of pigment dispersion analysis have been reviewed in regard to their application to rubber, plastics, and other vehicle systems as mentioned in this paper, and stylus roughness measurements on cut surfaces offer the combination of simplicity and speed of operation with high accuracy and precision for measuring pigment agglomeration in elastomer systems of known composition.

Environmental Degradation of Tire-Wear Particles

TL;DR: In this article, four sample types (tire-wear particulate and tread rubber each in roadside soil and in glass beads) were analyzed periodically for total rubber content by thermogravimetric (TGA), pyrolysis-gas chromatography (GC), and extraction-polybutadiene-GC analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Particle Size Determination of Tire-Tread Rubber in Atmospheric Dusts

TL;DR: In this paper, the amount of tread rubber in these respirable dusts as determined by styrene, dipentene, and vinylcyclohexene in their pyrolyzates varied from 1.5 to 9.2 per cent with an overall average of 4.3 per cent.
