Tire wear represents a large source of microplastic entering the aquatic environment, however little is known about its environmental risks. Here, we provide the first assessment of the environmental risks of pollution with tire wear microplastic particles (TWP) and associated organic micropollutants present in road runoff in Europe, in one go. Besides microplastic TWP, the assessment focused on priority substances as defined by the Water Framework Directive (WFD). In addition, several other…

Concentrations of Tire Additive Chemicals and Tire Road Wear Particles in an Australian Urban Tributary.
Tire road wear particles (TRWPs) are one of the largest sources of microplastics to the urban environment with recent concerns as they also provide a pathway for additive chemicals to leach into the…

Acute aquatic toxicity of tire and road wear particles to alga, daphnid, and fish
TLDR
Toxicity was only observed for elutriates generated from TRWP leached under high-temperature conditions and the lowest EC/LC50 value was 5,000 mg/l, however, TRWP should be considered a low risk to aquatic ecosystems under acute exposure scenarios.

Chronic toxicity of tire and road wear particles to water- and sediment-dwelling organisms
TLDR
The chronic toxicity of TRWP was evaluated in four aquatic species and indicates that under typical exposure conditions TRWP in sediments pose a low risk of toxicity to aquatic organisms.

TLDR
A global environmental perspective is included to improve the understanding of the deficiency of the current knowledge of tire leachate toxicity from various sources and to encourage interdisciplinary studies to establish the pattern of pollution associated with waste tire management.

TLDR
Several procedures can be applied for the analysis of other pollutants in different catchments, including an estimation of the total extent of roof accessories in a catchment, which result as the major source of Pb and as an important source of Zn in the example catchment.
