Although plastic particles in the air are increasingly coming into focus, knowledge about their distribution and effects is still limited. Chemical analyses from Leipzig now provide details from Germany for the first time: Around 4% of the particulate matter consists of plastic. Around two-thirds of this comes from tire abrasion.
4% of the matter is the entirety of plastic in the air. Of which 2/3’s are from tires. I feel like the headline is very accurate? 2.66% of all particulate matter in the air is from tires. I don’t understand how EV’s would help either?
