Car tyres are also significant contributors to terrestial microplastics and particulate matter!

Since this is a science community, can I ask what studies directly link these microplastics to the specific adverse affects?

I see a lot of "BPA microplastics are hormone disruptors" and "microplastics found in placentas!" Etc ... ok, but are they the same microplastics in these studies?

It sounds like when everyone puts scarequotes around "chemicals"...

Come on, let's not doubt that eating car tires is unhealthy.

I breath a lot of car tires when i walk to work...

I never made any claims concerning effects.

And that also is not healthy
