Tires are made of synthetic rubber, which do outgass a fair amount of pretty toxic chemicals, including benzene, toluene, and xylene (and about seventy others). These chemicals can cause harm to developing fetuses. (half a brain comes to mind) By the way, here is the full list of toxic chemicals found in tire emissions: sulfur dioxide (DOT)2-methyl-propanemethanethiol2-propane2-propanolcarbon disulfide2-methyl-propanal4-methyl-pentane2-methylj-2-pentene3-methyl-furan2-methyl-pentane2-butenal2-methyl-2-propenalhexane3-buten-2-one2-methyl-furan5-methyl-1,3-cyclopentadienecyclohexane (DOT)benzenecyclohexeneheptane2,4,4-trimethyl-1-pentene1-formylcyclopentene3,4-dimethyl-2-hexene4-methyl-2-pentanone2,4-pentanedione(Z)-1,3,5-hexatriene, 3-methyl-1,2,-dimethyl-1,3-cyclopentadienetolueneacetic acid4-methyl-3-pentene-2-onehexamethyl-cyclotrisiloxane4-methyl-2-pentanethiol2,4-(1H, 3H)-pyrimidinedione1,3-dimethyl-benzenexylene2-heptanonestyrenecyclohexanonelimoneneoctamethyl-cyclotetrasiloxanecyclohexamethiolbenzaldehydeisocyanato-cyclohexanebenzoxazoledecamethyl-cyclopentasiloxane1-dodecenedodeceneheptadecane1-(methylphenyl)-ethanonedodecamethyl-cyclohexasiloxanebenzothiazolebenzenaminepentadecane1,2-dihydro-2,2,4-trimethyl-quinolinetertiobutylhydroxyanisole (BHA)2,4-dimethyl-quinolinedodecanoic acid, methyl esterBHTcyclododecanehexadecaneoctadecanedocosanetricosane1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dioneeicosaneN-[phenylmethylene]-cyclohexanamineheneicosane2,6,10,14-tetramethyl-pentadecanetetracosamethyl-cyclododecasiloxane2-(methylthio)-benzothiazole3-benzyliden-3, 8-dihydrocyclohept [e]2,6,10,14-tetramethyl-pentadecanehexadecanoic acid1,1-diphenyl-2-2(2,4,6-trinitr)-hydrazineN-methyl-N-phenyl-benzenamine2,3,5,6-tetrahydro-s-indacene-1,7-dione2,6,10,14-tetramethyl-hexadecane More Sharing Services Share on email Share on twitter Share on facebook Share on linkedin
