Forbes: Most Of The Microplastics In Urban Air Come From Tires

Leipzig, 22.04.2026 – Laurie Winkless

"For a team of chemists from Leipzig, Germany, the focus was on presence of airborne micro- and nanoplastics in urban air, and the risks they pose to human health. Their study, published just last month found that tire wear particles from cars and trucks accounted for two-thirds (65%) of all of the plastic particles they detected in their experiment."

Leipzig, 04.03.2026 – Paul Day

"Researchers from the Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research (TROPOS) and the University of Oldenburg analysed air samples taken over two weeks in September 2022 at a busy roadside location in Leipzig. They found that around 4% of the fine particulate matter in the air consisted of plastic particles."
