Asphalt also emits microparticles during wear and tear, as do tires... It needs to be tested, not assumed.

- ajsnigrutin 4y agoAren't a lot of those microparticles just sand? Asphalt is basically just rocks/sand and some tar-ish cemicals to bind them together.
- rockinghigh 4y agoMost tires are made from synthetic rubber which also derived from oil.
- jahewson 4y agoNo you should assume it’s a problem until proven otherwise. We only have one environment and shoving anything we please into it without so much as a second thought is exactly what’s led us to our current predicament.

- aliswe 4y agowe know that the microparticles are a problem - the assumption that I'm challenging is that plastic is worse than conventional asphalt.
