Parent post brought up brake dust, which is not what this article is about. EVs definitely put less wear on brakes but that has nothing to do with microplastics.
- stavros 3y agoI think it got edited, it said "tire dust" when I made my comment (unless I'm mistaken, but I did check twice to make sure). EDIT: Looks like I just misread the "tire dust" on the first sentence and filled it in the second sentence as well, huh.

- ilyt 3y agoBut most of it does biodegrade so it is short time problem vs very long time problem.
