• Car tire crumb rubber: Does leaching produce a toxic chemical cocktail in coastal marine systems? 

      Halsband-Lenk, Claudia; Sørensen, Lisbet; Booth, Andy; Herzke, Dorte (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Crumb rubber granulate (CRG) produced from end of life tires (ELTs) is commonly applied to synthetic turf pitches (STPs), playgrounds, safety surfaces and walkways. In addition to fillers, stabilizers, cross-linking agents ...
    • Ingestion of car tire crumb rubber and uptake of associated chemicals by lumpfish (Cyclopterus lumpus) 

      Hägg, Fanny; Herzke, Dorte; Nikiforov, Vladimir; Booth, Andy; Sperre, Kristine Hopland; Sørensen, Lisbet; Egeness, Mari Jystad; Halsband, Claudia (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Car tire rubber constitutes one of the largest fractions of microplastics emissions to the environment. The two main emission sources are tire wear particles (TWPs) formed through abrasion during driving and runoff of crumb ...
