Recent studies conducted in the Colorado Rocky Mountains reveal that tire particles, laden with nano-sized carbon black, are being deposited on high-altitude snow, contributing to accelerated melting and atmospheric warming. Analysis by Emissions Analytics identified organic compounds in these particles that match those found in road tires, highlighting their widespread environmental presence.
In 2015, the ICCT commissioned Emissions Analytics, a commercial test house specializing in testing real-world fuel consumption and emissions, to perform on-road testing of Euro 6-regulated gasoline and diesel vehicles. Emissions Analytics tested 7 vehicles between 2015 and 2016 for emissions of carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), nitric oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and particulates.
