Optical Properties and Direct Radiative Forcing of Airborne Tire Wear Particles
Research Square
2026
Polymers
Tire wear particles (TWPs), an emerging anthropogenic micro- and nanoplastic aerosol, are carbon-containing and light-absorbing. Yet the radiative forcing of TWPs has been difficult to assess due to the lack of optical property data. Here, our calculations based on valence electron energy loss...
