Join the “Tire Toxins” Micro-Survey

This page is part of a small citizen-science effort exploring how tire wear affects our environment — and how well this issue is understood locally. Just two quick forms: • Left — check whether your area mentions tire or microplastic pollution. • Right — share what you (and maybe others) know or think about it. No lab work, no special tools — just your observations. Takes about 1–2 minutes.

Awareness & Perception

Part A: your own answers. Part B: optional mini-survey results if you asked others. Both are optional but helpful.

Part A — About you Before today, had you heard that car tyres can release toxic chemicals that harm aquatic life?

Yes No

How concerned are you about tyre pollution compared to other sources? Where do you usually get environmental information?

Part B — If you’ve asked others How many people did you ask? Did most of them already know about tyre pollutants?

Yes No Mixed responses

How would you describe their reaction?

We collect only non-identifying answers. If you include a note or link, avoid personal data of others. By submitting you agree to anonymized public display of aggregated results.
