A novel method for the quantification of tire and polymer-modified bitumen particles in environmental samples by pyrolysis gas chromatography mass spectroscopy
Rødland, Elisabeth Strandbråten; Samanipour, Saer; Rauert, Cassandra; Okoffo, Elvis D.; Reid, Malcolm James; Heier, Lene S; Lind, Ole Christian; Thomas, Kevin V; Meland, Sondre (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Tire and road wear particles may constitute the largest source of microplastic particles into the environment. Quantification of these particles are associated with large uncertainties which are in part due to inadequate ... -
Challenges with Quantifying Tire Road Wear Particles: Recognizing the Need for Further Refinement of the ISO Technical Specification
Rauert, Cassandra; Rødland, Elisabeth S; Okoffo, Elvis D.; Reid, Malcolm J; Meland, Sondre; Thomas, Kevin V (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Environmental monitoring data for tire road wear particles are vastly limited compared to those for other microplastics, primarily due to analytical challenges with quantification. Recently, two ISO technical specifications ... -
Occurrence of tire and road wear particles in urban and peri-urban snowbanks, and their potential environmental implications
Rødland, Elisabeth Strandbråten; Lind, Ole Christian; Reid, Malcolm James; Heier, Lene Sørlie; Okoffo, Elvis D.; Rauert, Cassandra; Thomas, Kevin V; Meland, Sondre (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)According to estimates put forward in multiple studies, tire and road wear particles are one of the largest sources to microplastic contamination in the environment. There are large uncertainties associated with local ... -
Road de-icing salt: Assessment of a potential new source and pathway of microplastics particles from roads
Rødland, Elisabeth Strandbråten; Okoffo, Elvis D.; Rauert, Cassandra; Heier, Lene Sørlie; Lind, Ole Christian; Reid, Malcolm James; Thomas, Kevin V; Meland, Sondre (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Roads are estimated to be the largest source of microplastic particles in the environment, through release of particles from tires, road markings and polymer-modified bitumen. These are all released through the wear and ...
