Code for: Retreaded tires are an overlooked source of microplastics with distinct additive leaching and ecotoxicity
Summary
Researchers built a random forest model to rank the contributions of individual chemical additives in retreaded tire leachate to measured ecotoxicity, identifying the dominant compounds and providing an analytical framework that supports the broader finding that retreaded tires are a distinct and underappreciated source of microplastics with unique leaching profiles.
This code uses a random forest model to rank the contribution of tire wear particle leachate additives to toxicity, identifying key additives that dominate leachate ecotoxicity. It supports data analysis for the study: Retreaded tires are an overlooked source of microplastics with distinct additive leaching and ecotoxicity.
