Tyre and road wear particles - A calculation of generation, transport and release to water and soil with special regard to German roads Open
Tyre and road wear is one of the main emission sources of particulate plastics (microplastics). In this study, the emissions of tyre wear particles (TWP) which are annually generated on the German road network were calculated. Emissions ar…

Tyre and road wear particles (TRWP) - A review of generation, properties, emissions, human health risk, ecotoxicity, and fate in the environment Open
In this paper, the current knowledge on tyre and road wear particles (TRWP) is compiled regarding all environmental and health aspects. TRWP generated on roads during driving processes contribute to airborne non-exhaust emissions and are d…
Ecotoxicological characterization of emissions from steel coatings in contact with water Open
In order to prevent corrosion damage, steel structures need to be protected. Coating systems achieve this by the isolation of the steel from its environment. Common binding agents are epoxide and polyurethane resins which harden by polyadd…
Percolation and Contaminant Transport in Road Embankments with and without Technical Safeguards to Reduce Percolation – Lysimeter Experiments Open
Alternative materials, like recycling materials, industrial by-products and soils already influenced by human activities (e.g. urban soils) are commonly accepted as building material in earthwork constructions. The risk of contaminant leac…
Monitoring of Contaminant Input into Roadside Soil from Road Runoff and Airborne Deposition Open
Non-point sources of traffic-related pollution become a major concern as they – compared to the point-source inputs – are more difficult to be defined or controlled. It is crucial to evaluate the fraction of traffic-related contamination t…
