Pencemaran getah
Pencemaran getah, seperti pencemaran plastik, berlaku di pelbagai persekitaran, dan terbit daripada aneka jenis sumber, daripada pemprosesan makanan hingga kehausan tayar.[1][2] Serpihan dan debu getah sintetik serta alami kini didapati pada makanan, di udara sebagai zarahan, tersembunyi di dalam tanah serta badan-badan air.[3]
Haus tayar ialah sumber utama pencemaran getah.[4][5][6] Satu kebimbangan di sini ialah pencemaran akibat ini (termasuk dalam pengeluaran pencemar bukan ekzos)[7] tidak dikawal langsung, tidak seperti pengeluaran gas ekzos.[6] Namun begitu, beberapa alatan sedang dibangunkan untuk mengurangkan zarahan tayar yang boleh memasuki atmosfera.[8][9]
