“…Approximately 2 billion waste tires have accumulated in the United States, and these waste tires in their long-term storage can easily cause health and environmental issues if they are not managed in proper ways. The chemical toxicity and micro- or nano-particles from waste tires have attracted attention, as these particles released in the marine environment are potentially harmful for both ocean species and humans [ 20 , 21 , 22 ]. Therefore, it is a big challenge to deal with these large amounts of waste.…”

Polymer waste is currently a big and challenging issue throughout the world. Waste tires represent an important source of polymer waste. Therefore, it is highly desirable to recycle functional fillers from waste tires to develop composite materials for advanced applications. The primary theme of this review involves an overview of developing polystyrene (PS) composites using materials from recycled tires as fillers; waste tire recycling in terms of ground tire rubbers, carbon black, and textile fibers; surface treatments of the fillers to optimize various composite properties; and the mechanical, fire retarding, acoustic, and electromagnetic field (EMI) shielding performances of PS composite materials. The development of composite materials from polystyrene and recycled waste tires provides a novel avenue to achieve reductions in carbon emission goals and closed-loop plastic recycling, which is of significance in the development of circular economics and an environmentally friendly society.

“…These fractions need special attention because they are amorphous (the black shade of the particles observed in cross-polarized light indicates very low crystallinity or amorphous state) and are not detected by the XRD investigation. The literature data mention soot emissions associated with exhausting vehicle combustion gases [43,44].…”

Physicochemical Assessment of the Road Vehicle Traffic Pollution Impact on the Urban Environment

Vehicle traffic pollution requires complex physicochemical analysis besides emission level measuring. The current study is focused on two campaigns of emissions measurements held in May and September 2019 in Alba Iulia City, Romania. There was found a significant excess of PM2.5 for all measuring points and PM10 for the most circulated points during May, along with significant VOC and CO2 emissions. September measurements reveal threshold excess for all PM along with increased values for VOC and CO2 emissions. These are the consequences of the complex environmental interaction of the traffic. Street dust and air-suspended particle samples were collected and analyzed to evidence the PM2.5 and PM10 sources. Physicochemical investigation reveals highly mineralized particulate matter: PM2.5 fractions within air-suspended particle samples predominantly contain Muscovite, Kaolinite, and traces of Quartz and Calcite, while PM10 fractions within air-suspended particle samples predominantly contain Quartz and Calcite. These mineral fractions originate in street dust and are suspended in the atmosphere due to the vehicles’ circulation. A significant amount of soot was found as small micro-sized clusters in PM2.5 and fine micro-spots attached over PM10 particles, as observed by Mineralogical Optical Microscopy (MOM) and Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). GC-MS analysis found over 53 volatile compounds on the investigated floating particles that are related to the combustion gases, such as saturated alkanes, cycloalkanes, esters, and aromatic hydrocarbons. It proves a VOC contamination of the measured particulate matters that make them more hazardous for the health. Viable strategies for vehicle traffic-related pollutants mitigation would be reducing the street dust occurrence and usage of modern catalyst filters of the combustion gas exhausting system.
