#12If someone had told you that this would be the case in the 1960s, they probably would have jumped for joy. It’s more a positive signal for how much emissions technology has advanced.
Obviously it’s something worth looking at and improving, still, but it’s definitely not a sign that things are getting worse, but rather the opposite.

#13When I first moved to the SF bay area I didn't have AC in my apartment so I had to leave the windows open during the summer. After a year of leaving them open there was a thick coat of tire dust all along the windowsill since my window faced a road. :x
How do you know it was tire dust and not just regular dust?

Challenge is, can we make tired that don’t wear or are made of friendly materials.

#16Non-exhaust, particulate pollution.

#17We need more hovercrafts!
Or walking draglines.

#18What I'd like to know is who this "leading authority" is. Release is a bit vague.

#19So to visualize this I'm thinking of a rectangle 2.5 feet long, 8 inches wide, and a half-inch thick times 4. That is what comes off my tires every 5 years so that I have to replace them. Every set of tires sold is to replace that.
It's a bit confusing to me. You changed the body part in the middle.

Also headline: "pollution", and article "harmful particle matter from tyres". The study was of particulate emissions only, where when we generally think of "car pollution" we're talking about carbon or unburned hydrocarbons or toxins, not smoke. And the comparison was to "what comes out of a car's exhaust", when the overwhelming contributor to the particulate composition of smog is reactions in the atmosphere and not the stuff in the pipe.
Not a good headline at all. But still, no doubt tire pollution is reasonable significant and we should all be driving less anyway.
