Where does the rubber go?

[owg]

I read somewhere that in the early days of the pneumatic tire, someone predicted that there would soon be 6 inches or more of rubber dust all over the roads. That did not happen but that 1/4" or more that we are all wearing off our tires must go somewhere. My guess is carbon dust, CO2, and VOC into the air. Does anyone have any data on this? I posted this on the Chemical Environmental Control Forum as well.

I thought that is what my last sentence was doing. Is there a way to make a wider posting? Perhaps you mean I should place a similar sentence on the Chemical Environmental Control Forum. I have just done that. Thanks for the reminder.
