Comment: Tire dust killing salmon; state must bar chemical’s use | HeraldNet.com A chemical called 6PPD produces a toxin that kills coho. A ban by 2035 can add to efforts to save fish.

More than 90% of baby Coho salmon can die after exposure to 6PPD-Q—a toxic chemical formed when tire dust washes into streams & rivers.

But we have a chance to change that! In Washington, HB 2421 would ban #6PPD and regrettable substitutes—protecting salmon, clean water, and our ecosystems. #waleg

Is tyre pollution causing mass deaths in vulnerable salmon populations? A US judge will decide if, as research suggests, a chemical tyre additive is harming endangered fish species

Car tyres shed a quarter of all microplastics in the environment – urgent action is needed Tiny flakes of plastic, generated by the wear and tear of normal driving, eventually accumulate in the soil, in rivers and lakes, and even in our food.
