Car tires are supposed to be bad. I remember reading each loses ~1kg in pulverised plastic dust over the lifetime?
Luckily, at least some of that is filtered from the air by people’s lungs.
Oh, do you know what else? Paint. Apparently, a lot of studies didn’t account for microplastics that came from several types of paint that end up in the environment. Scary stuff.

Like that paint that they use on highways that needs to be reapplied every so often because it disappears
Well, it doesn’t just disappear. Microplastics. Highways are doubly bad for plastic waste.
Oh lord… That’s true. I never thought of that. And then we have studies like these. Do you have testicles? Well… You have microplastics in them.
