https://twitter.com/berkie1/status/1708521709291118868?s=20quote:New research efforts are only just beginning to reveal the impact of near-invisible tire and brake dust. A report from the Pew Charitable Trust found that 78 percent of ocean microplastics are from synthetic tire rubber. These toxic particles often end up ingested by marine animals, where they can cause neurological effects, behavioral changes, and abnormal growth.

I finally moved to a house within biking distance of the grocery store. it feels immediately life changing to not be reliant on a car to get food. I can just pop up and grab some fresh veg any time I need to as if I'm a normal human living in a normal society instead of an idiot trapped in the pixar Cars universe. My old place was like an island with no pedestrian infrastructure for miles, just busy highways loaded with trucks.

as soon as this gets any serious attention you'll see the whataboutism that bike tires are made from the exact same poo poo e: and we'll be implored to save the environment by buying more expensive, worse bike tires instead of doing anything about cars Clark Nova has issued a correction as of 16:35 on Oct 2, 2023 |

Maed posted:ah yes great to see "new research" found something we've talked about for years here Anybody who's ever washed a car knows that tires and brakes produce a massive amount of filthy dust, and anybody who's ever cycled on the road in the rain knows you get covered in road grime from all the poo poo cars and trucks produce. If only steel wheels on steel rails yada yada you know the joke, to be fair train wheels and tracks do wear albeit slowly, and they do have friction brakes but electric trains can do a majority of their braking using non-contact regen or eddy current braking. Overall far less poo poo production per person per km.

Horace posted:hmm tyres have 8mm tread when brand new and 1mm when worn out, weird how that 7mm of rubber just goes away, to nowhere not all, but most of it is just rubbed onto the road surface under regular use, a tire can't adhere a cars weight to the road surface without depositing rubber onto it like an eraser, it's leaving microscopic amounts any time it moves or stops moving but it's not putting much into the air at all under normal use just bc tires stick to themselves, if they flaked regularly or anything like that you'd see the rubber marking in the wheelwell like if its been doing a burnout tire smoke & brake dust are both super bad for you tho brake pad material is v much like asbestos as-is, then braking grinds them into an invisibly fine dust while heating up to like 1500°, making other awful poo poo every single time they're used and it all gets whipped onto the air like a big wake off every wheel i figure it's a massive unrecognized cause of respiratory cancers

actionjackson posted:how are all the people who don't have indoor garage parking going to charge these EVs at home again A lot of the single-family homes in Seattle have small, below-grade garages. I see a lot of those with cars parked in the driveway because modern cars don't fit them. One of my neighbors has an F150 parked in front of his, and it very clearly is too large in all three dimensions to fit. So, this is an issue that also hits SFH owners, especially for vehicles like the Rivian.

So, like, a two-ton Tesla would be putting out about 25,000 times as much rubber as an 80-pound e-bike?
