Retreaded tires are an overlooked source of microplastics with distinct additive leaching and ecotoxicity - supplementary data
Summary
Researchers characterized tire wear particles from retreaded tires and measured the leaching and ecotoxicity of their chemical additives using Vibrio fischeri and Chlorella vulgaris bioassays, generating a dataset of inhibition rates and chemical concentrations that shows retreaded tires are a distinct and underappreciated 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.
