  1. Atmospheric oxidation of the anti-degradation compounds 6PPD and DPPD that are present in tire wear particulates produce approximately 90 compounds that are found in near-road environmental air samples. This mixture caused inflammation and death of human macrophages, and was more toxic than 6PPD-quinone.

    A 2020 paper revealed the cause of mortality: a chemical called #6PPD that is added to tires to prevent their cracking and degradation. When 6PPD, which occurs in tire dust, is exposed to ground-level ozone, it’s transformed into multiple other chemicals, including 6PPD-quinone, or 6PPD-q. The compound is acutely toxic to four of 11 tested fish species, including coho salmon.

  4. Toxic dust from tires is flowing into waterways from roads and highways, where it kills some species of salmon and trout.

    Assemblymember Papan recently introduced legislation to remove these toxic tire particles before they slip into waterways and kill fish:

  9. Car tires pollute by releasing 6PPD—and regulators like the EPA are finally doing something about it.

    > Regulators—and a reluctant industry—are finally starting to deal with it.

    >...we are only starting to understand its impact on wildlife and human health... such dangers could rise if consumers shift toward heavier, overpowered electric vehicles that shred tires faster...
