Retreaded tires are an overlooked source of microplastics with distinct additive leaching and ecotoxicity - supplementary data
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers compiled experimental measurements on tire wear particles from retreaded tires, including chemical leaching profiles of tire additives and ecotoxicity results using bacterial and algal bioassays, providing a supplementary dataset for assessing retreaded tires as an overlooked microplastic source.
This dataset contains experimental data on tire wear particle characterization, leaching behavior of tire additives, and ecotoxicological test results using Vibrio fischeri and Chlorella vulgaris. It includes raw and processed measurements of chemical concentrations, inhibition rates, and statistical summaries supporting the findings of the associated research article.

Retreaded tires are an overlooked source of microplastics with distinct additive leaching and ecotoxicity
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers found that tire wear particles from retreaded tires leach additives — especially the highly water-soluble p-phenylenediamine IPPD — at markedly higher rates than new or used tires, causing greater toxicity to bacteria and algae, with global emissions projected to increase several hundred-fold by 2060.
Ecotoxicology of micronized tire rubber: Past, present and future considerations
AI summary Read the abstract
This review synthesizes what is known about the ecotoxicology of micronized tire rubber particles, which are increasingly identified as a significant fraction of environmental microplastics, examining their effects on aquatic and terrestrial organisms. The authors note that tire rubber contains a complex mixture of chemical additives that may drive toxicity beyond the physical effects of the particles themselves.
