Q&A about Tire and Road Wear Particle Research
Cardno ChemRisk’s multi-disciplinary team of scientists has been a product stewardship and sustainability consultant to the tire industry for more than 15 years. An important focus of our research has been on Tire and Road Wear Particles (TRWP) generated by the necessary friction at the surface of the tire and road. Our team is proud to have assisted the industry address human and environmental health risk questions about their products through our applied research efforts. Our early work included leading a “State of Knowledge” assessment completed in 2007, which provided a product sustainability research “roadmap” for the industry. We began our research in 2008 and published our first TRWP study in 2010, coincident with emerging interest in non-exhaust emissions from vehicles and well before the global emphasis on plastic (non-rubber) polymeric debris in the environment. Although tire particles are not scientifically defined as “plastic”, some agencies and scientists have expanded the definition of “microplastic” to include TRWP. The purpose of this Q&A is to address questions from regulatory agencies, members of the public, scientists and journalists interested in our work.
