Microplastic and Associated Black Particles From Road‐Tire Wear: Implications for Radiative Effects Across the Cryosphere and in the Atmosphere
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers analyzed atmospherically deposited particles on snow surfaces at high elevations in the Colorado Rocky Mountains and found black substances associated with microplastic fibers originating from tire wear. These particles contain carbon black, a light-absorbing additive, which may accelerate snowmelt by absorbing solar radiation similarly to black carbon soot. The study suggests that airborne tire-wear microplastics could contribute roughly 10% additional radiative forcing in snow-covered regions, with implications for water resources.
