  • Are p phenylenediamine (PPD) antioxidants in recycled tire rubber products toxic?
  • Recently, roadway releases of N, N ′-substituted p -phenylenediamine (PPD) antioxidants and their transformation products (TPs) received significant attention due to the highly toxic 6PPD-quinone. However, the occurrence of PPDs and TPs in recycled tire rubber products remains uncharacterized.
  • Do recycled tire rubber products contain PPDS and TPS?
  • However, the occurrence of PPDs and TPs in recycled tire rubber products remains uncharacterized. Here, we analyzed tire wear particles (TWPs), recycled rubber doormats, and turf-field crumb rubbers for seven PPD antioxidants, five PPD-quinones (PPDQs), and five other 6PPD TPs using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.
  • Are PPD antioxidants present in all samples dominated by 6PPD and dtpd?
  • PPD antioxidants, PPDQs, and other TPs were present in all samples with chemical profiles dominated by 6PPD, DTPD, DPPD, and their corresponding PPDQs.
  • Is 6PPD recalcitrant under harsh pyrolysis?
  • This demonstrates the recalcitrant nature of 6PPD under harsh pyrolysis conditions and suggests solvent extraction is necessary for its removal. The TGA curve (Supplementary Fig. 11) of 6PPD shows a maximum degradation at ~300 °C and suggests that some 6PPD in the tires may sublime into the liquid product before the rubber degrades.
