These particles can be washed away by rainwater into storm drains, ultimately ending up in nearby water bodies such as rivers, lakes, and oceans.The particles contribute to a range of negative health impacts including heart, lung, developmental, reproductive, and cancer outcomes.</p><p>Tyre wear particle (TWP) are generated by contact between tyre and road surface during driving, acceleration and braking.><br><a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0048969720313358" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">sciencedirect.com/science/arti</span><span class="invisible">cle/pii/S0048969720313358</span></a></p><p>Tires are a complex source of pollutants including whole tires, particles, compounds, and chemicals.
