Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about the air I we breathe when washing dishes, doing laundry, cleaning, etc, and wondering how the small particles from these activities don’t cause damage to our lungs. I know the body has natural systems which filter what we breathe, but wouldn’t even a small amount of chemicals being inhaled cause long-term damage?

Granted, I haven’t searched with much diligence, but I’ve never seen a study on the respiratory (and other) effects of rubber debris. We have all been living among motorized vehicles for decades and tons of ground-up tire tread don’t just disappear. For years I’ve wondered about this particular pollutant and why it seems to get no attention.
