Fate and Effect of Zinc from Tire Debris in Soil

Abstract

Tire debris contains significant quantities of zinc (Zn), and there is concern about the diffuse Zn contamination of soils from tire wear. An experiment was set up to quantify the fate and effect of Zn from tire debris in soil. Two different soils were mixed with the <100-microm fraction of car and truck tire debris (25 g kg(-1) soil) or zinc sulfate (ZnSO4) as a reference. Soils were transferred to soil columns with free drainage and placed outdoors for 11 months. Leachates of the tire debris amended soils did not contain significantly (P>0.05) more Zn than control soils except for a 3-fold increase in one soil amended with cartire debris. The increase in Zn leaching due to tire debris was only 3% of the corresponding increase in the ZnSO4 treatment at the same total Zn in soil. Tire debris application increased the soil nitrification potential, whereas ZnSO4 application, at corresponding or smaller total Zn concentration, decreased nitrification potential. An increase in soil pH was observed in all soils treated with tire debris and explains the increased nitrification potential. About 10-40% of the Zn from tire debris was isotopically exchangeable in soil sampled after 1 year weathering. It is concluded that a significant fraction of Zn is released from the rubber matrix within 1 year, but the parallel increase in soil pH limits the mobilization of Zn in soil.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
