While there’s no doubt tires are bad for the environment, a quarter of all microplastics seems a lot, especially since plastic is everywhere. Gladly there’s a source for that claim, a link to tireindustryproject’s FAQ… Claiming that this number is a gross overestimation. What the fuck is this article? Is it supposed to be satire or something?
In a fair fight sure, but this sneaky fucker can read inputs like those cheaty fighting games bots
I don’t know about this specific building, so this is just speculation, but it looks like an old public building, something like a school, city hall, could even be a market or public bathroom. My guess is those door are new, and a way to close an otherwise open entry to a courtyard.

That was an interesting read. I guess tyre fragments (and industrial pellets) are just way bigger than the other big offenders, which would explain why they represent such a huge portion of the total mass, and why they are filtered out “easily”. Overall it seems to me that we really need to categorize the different microplastics better, as the current definition (anything plastic 5mm and under) seems a bit too large, and with all the mix ups, you can always blame something else.
