Physiochemical properties of TRWP (A) Light microscopy images of TRWP generated in the road simulator and extracted from marine surface sediments. (B) left top shows a light microscope image of a road simulator generated particle, left bottom shows the same particle after cleaning and the right shows a SEM image of the same particle after cleaning. (C) SEM–EDS of particle cross section (D) Shape and size distribution statistics of road simulator generated TRWP. (E) FTIR spectra of the road simulator generated TRWP (green), tyre tread (black) and a particle extracted from marine surface sediment (blue)
