Almost 2,000 times more particle pollution is produced by tire wear than is pumped out of the exhausts of modern cars, tests have shown. Air pollution causes millions of early deaths a year globally. These are also emitted from exhausts and are of special concern to health, as their size means they can enter organs via the bloodstream.

Scientists know, for example, that at least 3,200 plastic chemicals pose risks to human health or the environment. more than $900 billion in health expenses annually. Because so many plastics and petrochemical products are traded internationally, some endocrinologists and public health authorities believe a global approach is needed.
