Microplastics is the lead paint exposure of the current and past 2 generations.
This article cites synthetic rubber from tires as a potential source of micro plastics. Are there any studies that show how much people are exposed to?
Comparisons between rubber from bikes, motorcycles, and different classes of motor vehicles (sedans/cars, trucks, heavy duty trucks or machinery, and even the subclass of EVs).
Even more of a reason to get away from car centric transportation if the levels are several orders of magnitude difference.
- bhouston 3y agoI think that the main source is motor vehicles, both cars, trucks and heavy duty trucks and maybe motorcycles if you have enough of them (which we do not in North America.) https://www.plasticstoday.com/medical/tire-wear-major-source-microplastics-say-researchers https://www.plasticstoday.com/medical/tire-wear-major-source...
