Article Synopsis
- A chemical byproduct called 6PPD-Q, stemming from tires, has been linked to severe toxicity in coho salmon due to urban storm runoff.
- The study examined how 6PPD-Q interacts with asphalt mixtures, showing that both compacted and crushed rubberized asphalt can absorb this chemical, reaching equilibrium in about 12 days.
- Despite its ability to absorb 6PPD-Q, the actual amount released into runoff during simulated rainfall events is significantly lower than the lethal concentration for fish, suggesting these asphalt mixtures can help mitigate its toxicity in the environment.
