From roads to oceans: Pollution pathways of end-of-life tires in coastal and marine environments

Key Points

• Pollution pathways from end-of-life tires contaminate coastal and marine environments, impacting ecosystems.
• Key evidence indicates that toxic leachates and microplastics are significant contributors to marine pollution.
• The approach involves examining pollution pathways to understand their environmental impact on coastal ecosystems.
• This highlights the need for effective waste management strategies to mitigate pollution from end-of-life tires.
