About 3 billion new tires are produced each year and about 800 million become waste annually. Global dependence upon from natural rubber petroleum-based compounds represents a persistent complex environmental problem with only partial often-times, ineffective solutions. Tire emissions may be in the form of whole tires, tire particles, chemical compounds, which is transported through various atmospheric, terrestrial, aquatic routes built environments. Production use generates multiple heavy metals, plastics, PAH's, other that can toxic alone or as cocktails. Used require storage space, energy intensive to recycle, generally have few post-wear uses not also potential sources pollutants (e.g., crumb rubber, pavements, burning). particles emitted during major component microplastics urban runoff source unique highly potent substances. Thus, represent ubiquitous pollutant requires comprehensive examination develop effective management remediation. We approach issue pollution holistically by examining life cycle across production, emissions, recycling, disposal. In this paper, we synthesize recent research data human health risks associated use, disposal discuss gaps our knowledge fate transport, well toxicology leachates. examine remediation approaches for addressing exposure tires. consider three levels: their state, particulates, mixture Finally, information understanding outline key questions improve ability manage remediate pollution.

Co-pyrolysis of sewage sludge and biomass for stabilizing heavy metals and reducing biochar toxicity: A review

Environmental Chemistry Letters, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 21(2), С. 1231 - 1250

Опубликована: Дек. 19, 2022

Abstract The huge amounts of sewage sludge produced by municipal wastewater treatment plants induce major environmental and economical issues, calling for advanced disposal methods. Traditional methods increase greenhouse gas emissions pollution. Moreover, biochar created from often cannot be used directly in soil applications due to elevated levels heavy metals other toxic compounds, which alter biota earthworms. This has limited the application sludge-derived as a fertilizer. Here, we review biomass co-pyrolysis with focus on stabilization toxicity reduction biochar. We observed that co-pyrolyzing materials reduced metal concentrations decreased risk up 93%. Biochar could enhance reproduction stimulation 20‒98%. Heavy immobilization transformation are controlled co-feed material mixing ratio, pyrolysis temperature, atmosphere.

Microplastics and Tire Wear Particles in Urban Stormwater: Abundance, Characteristics, and Potential Mitigation Strategies

Environmental Science & Technology, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 57(34), С. 12829 - 12837

Опубликована: Авг. 14, 2023

Stormwater has been identified as a pathway for microplastics (MPs), including tire wear particles (TWPs), into aquatic habitats. Our knowledge of the abundance MPs in urban stormwater and potential strategies to control is still limited. In this study, samples were collected from microlitter capture devices (inlet outlet) during rain events. Sediment material captured device inlet outlet constructed wetland. MP (>25 μm) concentration varied across different locations ranging 3.8 59 MPs/L raw 1.8 32 treated stormwater, demonstrating decrease after passage through (35-88% removal). TWPs comprised ∼95% all particles, followed by polypropylene (PP) poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET). The ranged 2.5 58 TWPs/L 1450 4740 TWPs/kg sediment, respectively. A higher was found sediment at wetland compared outlet, indicating role wetlands removing stormwater. These findings suggest that both can mitigate transport receiving waterways.

Retention of microplastics and tyre wear particles in stormwater ponds

Water Research, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 248, С. 120835 - 120835

Stormwater runoff from urban areas contain a wide variety of pollutants which is typically managed using stormwater retention ponds. However, their performance with regards to emerging such as microplastics and tyre wear material remains unclear. In this study, samples effluent water sediments four ponds were analysed for content material. Microplastics state-of-the-art hyperspectral imaging technique while was pyrolysis-GC-MS. recovered in all the mass balance revealed that on average 88% small (<500 µm) retain removal efficiency large (>500 95%. Tyre identified sediment but found below detection limit three out samples. On 95% removed by The results study show are very effective removing well runoff.
