Tyre Wear emissions are being scrutinised
It has been reported by reliable sources that international Scientists have been collectively calling for a general standardisation of the methods currently used to measure and access tyre wear emissions.
A series of recently published scientific papers have highlighted the current inconsistencies and knowledge/information gaps in this field and emphasising the need for a coordinated approach which is crucial in order to develop effective policies and regulations to mitigate the environmental and potential health impacts of tyre wear.
Key points in this demand for standardisation include a collective approach by the industry and policymakersa to re-address the complexities of tyre wear emissions, as tyre wear particles including microplastics effectively contribute to air and water pollution and therefore have a potential health-risks, which need to be more fully understood.
It is considered that there needs to be an increase in shared research and assessment to ensure more consistent and reliable data and conclusions. Which will enable the development of effective future policies and regulations that will result in reduced tyre wear emissions and the risks involved.
