BellingenNSWRecycling toxic car tyres through the body and the environmentWhen tyres are used, tiny particles of rubber are released and accumulate on road surfaces. These particles can be washed away by rainwater into storm drains, ultimately ending up in nearby water bodies such as rivers, lakes, and oceans.The particles contribute to a range of negative health impacts including heart, lung, developmental, reproductive, and cancer outcomes.Tyre wear particle (TWP) are generated by contact between tyre and road surface during driving, acceleration and braking.> <a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0048969720313358" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0048969720313358</a>Tires are a complex source of pollutants including whole tires, particles, compounds, and chemicals.

These 8.2 tons of CO2 are the equivalent of 13 return flights from Berlin to Barcelona and almost as much as the CO2 emitted in the production of a mid-class luxury car, such as a Mercedes C250"“The 8.2 tons of CO2 produced over 13 years equate to an annual CO2 emission of 630 kilograms. If we place these 630 kilograms of CO2 in the context of the two tons per year indicated as environmentally acceptable for humans by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, then every dog owner can see that almost one third of their CO2 budget is already used up by their dog.”“The ton of fecal matter and 2,000 liters of urine produced by a dog over a lifetime of 13 years further impact the environment.” <a href="https://www.tu.berlin/en/about/profile/press-releases-news/2020/august/life-cycle-assessment-for-dogs" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.tu.berlin/en/about/profile/press-releases-news/2020/august/life-cycle-assessment-for-dogs</a>“Environmental Impacts of a Pet Dog: An LCA Case Study” <a href="https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/12/8/3394" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.mdpi.com/2071-1050/12/8/3394</a><a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Climate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Climate</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Water" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Water</a> bodies <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Acidification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Acidification</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Soil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Soil</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Ecotoxicity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ecotoxicity</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Food</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Meat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Meat</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Urine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Urine</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Excrements" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Excrements</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Freshwater" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Freshwater</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Eutrophication" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Eutrophication</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/PromisedLand" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PromisedLand</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Bellingen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bellingen</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/BellingenDogs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BellingenDogs</a>
