   Tire wear pollutants represent an environmental and human health risk. Chemicals that are associated with this form of pollution, including diphenylamine antioxidants, phthalates, benzothiazole, benzotriazoles, and alkylphenols are amongst the micro particles that people are breathing. Around 6.1 million metric tons of tire dust end up in our atmosphere and waterways annually. It’s one of the most common microplastic pollutants in our oceans.
