Environmental distribution of 6PPD and its derivations by location and traffic characteristics... >>A nation-wide study for the occurrence of PPD antioxidants and 6PPD-quinone in road dusts of China<< "The functional region-dependent characteristics of PPDs and 6PPD-Q indicate that the total concentrations of ΣPPDs and 6PPD-Q in road dusts from urban tunnel were remarkably higher than those from urban trunk roads, and suburban road dusts showed relative lower pollution level." https://lnkd.in/esjGkfS6 #tyreemissions #tireemissions #tyreconsortium

Further research into the affects of tyre emissions, together with other environmental conditions, on algae - oxidative stress being the key effect here... >>Tire microplastic particles and warming inhibit physiological functions of the toxic microalga Alexandrium pacificum<< "Specifically, under elevated temperature, high concentrations TMPs [tyre microplastics] could inhibit photosynthetic pigment and chlorophyll fluorescence parameter, as well as the nutrient absorption, and induced oxidative stress.." https://lnkd.in/ePKgX_2g #tyreemissions #tireemissions #tyreconsortium

New paper out today! Led by Sara Hutton. We found that #nanoplastics produced from three different plastic types (tire, polyester, bio-based cups) interfere with the expression of genes related to muscle function in fish, and disrupt behavior. https://lnkd.in/g2cT8Etu Pacific Northwest Consortium on Plastics Oregon State University College of Agricultural Sciences

Evidence of the effects from tyre emissions from bicycles, cars and electric vehicles on algae, including algal growth and oxidative stress... >>Effects of tire wear particle on growth, extracellular polymeric substance production and oxidation stress of algae Chlorella vulgaris: Performance and mechanism<< "The 18d exposure experiment results indicated that higher exposure concentration of three types TWPs showed a positive effect on algae growth." https://lnkd.in/eSuRjUMV #tyreemissions #tireemissions #tyreconsortium

Further evidence of of how 6PPD and its derivatives are widely present in the environment... >>Ubiquitous occurrence of p-Phenylenediamine (PPD) antioxidants and PPD-quinones in fresh atmospheric snow and their amplification effects on associated aqueous contamination<< "Abrasion of rubber tire was noticed as possible source of PPDs in urban fresh atmospheric snow, and high concentration of PPDs was found to be beneficial to snow-bound PPDQs’ formation in most sampling sites." https://lnkd.in/eH6_GZjh #tyreemissions #tireemissions #tyreconsortium

More trouble for roundworms from 6PPD-quinone... >>Exposure to 6-PPD quinone causes ferroptosis activation associated with induction of reproductive toxicity in Caenorhabditis elegans<< "Therefore, our results demonstrated activation of ferroptosis in nematodes exposed to 6-PPDQ at environmentally relevant concentrations, and this ferroptosis activation was related to reproductive toxicity of 6-PPDQ." https://lnkd.in/dkmKCZXb #tyreemissions #tireemissions #tyreconsortium

Further evidence of effects of 6PPD-quinone in bringing about early deaths of roundworms... >>Exposure to 6-PPD quinone disrupts glucose metabolism associated with lifespan reduction by affecting insulin and AMPK signals in Caenorhabditis elegans<< "Our results demonstrated important association between altered glucose metabolism and toxicity of 6-PPDQ in inducing lifespan reduction in organisms." https://lnkd.in/epe6Tsea #tyreemissions #tireemissions #tyreconsortium

The early bird discount for Tyre Emissions & Sustainability Europe 2025 ends soon. Join industry leaders, policymakers, and experts as we explore the future of sustainable tyres and their impact on our health and environment. Next year, the programme is expanding with even more in-depth sessions and exclusive insights into the latest trends and advancements in tyre sustainability. Some of the key topics include the impact of tyre wear on aquatic life, a deep dive into the concepts of tyre sustainability and how we can mitigate the emissions produced.
