COVID.
I read that it’s organized crime.
Loan SHARKS.
Sorry.
“Roughly 3.1 billion tires for the planet’s more than 1.4 billion vehicles are produced annually, the study said, and this chemical appears to be used in nearly all of them.”
I don’t buy two tires/vehicle/year. Maybe one, on average.
We can be like the fake news and voter fraud. Just say there is no evidence of this.
Sure, trace elements of a rubber tire have seeped into the ocean and killed salmon. Yup, gazillions of gallons of water couldn’t dilute that trace element of chemical...lol...yeah right...
A couple years ago I saw a salmon swimming over the road, didn’t seem to mind one damn bit, it even asked me for directions.
I haven’t run over a salmon in years.
I’m guessing human feces run off from liberal shxthole cities.
It’s all my fault. I bought new tires last week. I’m sorry earth. Who do I send my penance check to?
Do we have to buy tire offsets now?
how bout all the fukushima radiation spewing into the pacific unabated for years
gee lets all gloos that over
No cars for you!!
The Flintstones never had this issue. Just sayin’ .....
Could be Bigfoot...
AbstractIn U.S. Pacific Northwest coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch), stormwater exposure annually causes unexplained acute mortality when adult salmon migrate to urban creeks to reproduce. By investigating this phenomenon, we identified a highly toxic quinone transformation product of N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N'-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine) (6PPD), a globally ubiquitous tire rubber antioxidant. Retrospective analysis of representative roadway runoff and stormwater-impacted creeks of the U.S. West Coast indicated widespread occurrence of 6PPD-quinone (<0.3-19 μg/L) at toxic concentrations (LC50 of 0.8 ± 0.16 μg/L). These results reveal unanticipated risks of 6PPD antioxidants to an aquatic species and imply toxicological relevance for dissipated tire rubber residues.
So salmon don’t live forever?
Ya know that huge plastic ball of crap that is swirling out there?
How about looking at all that crap?
Too many electric cars and bicycles. That’s lots of tires.
Reminds me of the lead they used to put in gasoline. They knew it was harmful and they knew there were alternatives.
Get busy integrating an alternative anti-oxidant they probably already have developed.
I remember they couldn’t figure out why there wasn’t small piles of rubber bits at the side of the interstate from the treads wearing off. My understanding was some microbes ate them.
I thought it was from microwave energy created by Televisions, and they should be BANNED
Biden is gonna fix this. He is going to use all the tires Winnie Mandela style on conservatives. Two birds one stone.
So-o-o-o, the salmon are too tired?
