Summary
Tiny bits of worn-down tire rubber that wash into rivers and estuaries can build up inside clams and other shellfish, according to this study, and may cause stress or harm to these animals. Since these clams are part of the food chain (and some, like this species, are eaten by people), this research raises questions about whether tire particle pollution could eventually make its way onto our plates through seafood.
