Motion text
That this House notes the impact of tyre wear on air and water quality; records that tyre pollution produces almost 2,000 times more air pollution than modern car exhausts; recognises that limited regulation on the production of tyres has allowed toxic chemicals and carcinogens such as 2-naphthylamine into our environment, despite having been banned in tyre production; is concerned that tyre wear produces difficult-to-measure ultrafine particles which can enter organs through the blood stream; acknowledges that the increasing prevalence of electric vehicles has increased the average weight of vehicles on UK roads contributing to increased tyre wear and therefore air pollution; and therefore calls on the Government to implement stringent regulation of tyre chemical compounds and tyre wear by supporting the Tyre Manufacture (Toxic Chemicals) Bill.
