Project:

Tire Pollution and Microplastics

Despite tire particles being one of the largest contributors to microplastic pollution, few know the extent of the problem and its impact on our environment. SFEI’s Science Communication team distilled this information into a captivating fact sheet, outlining the problem and its effects in the Bay, as well as solutions to tire particle pollutants and future research directions. Condensing complex science into accessible and action-oriented posters for a variety of audiences is what allows SFEI’s work to inform decision making such as California’s Microplastics Strategy.
