NNN. A Pew study found 78% of ocean microplastics are from tires, and an ICL report found 18% of tire particles released into the environment are airborne, increasing plastics ingested by breathing, drinking and eating. All sources, incl other CN, say more research needed. https://www.systemiq.earth/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/BreakingThePlasticWave_MainReport.pdf https://spiral.imperial.ac.uk/bitstream/10044/1/101707/9/Tyre%20wear%20particles%20are%20toxic%20for%20us%20and%20the%20environment%200223-2.pdf
