Abstract

Tire and road wear particles (TRWPs) are generated unintentionally while driving vehicles. The generated TRWPs move to various environments by environmental and mechanical action, and they are present in fresh water, river, and ocean and may cause problems to the environment and human health. In Korea, the number of registered cars is increasing year by year, so the problem of TRWPs will become serious. In this study, we study the concentrations of TRWPs generated from the roadsides by temperature difference, in order to reduce the generation of TRWPs. Dust samples were collected from roadsides during summer and winter to measure the amount of TRWPs generated on roadsides according to seasonal temperature changes. Dust particles of 75–150 µm size, which corresponds to the TRWP size, were separated from the dust samples using sieves. Additionally, only TRWPs were separated using a solution of dibromomethane and Trans-1,2-dichloroethylene. TRWPs accounted for <2% in the dust collected from roadsides, and their amount increased by approximately 7.6–24.2% in summer more than in winter. Thermogravimetric analysis results confirmed that the tire components and road components and minerals accounted for 30% and 70% in TRWPs regardless of the season, respectively.
