Tire dust

I hate click bait

That's a shame, tire dust sounds like it'd be really useful for getting to sleep.

My friends and I love to eat tire dust on Friday after work, how can we possibly be social?

An building on this, tire dust theory why are we not seeing elevated Alzheimer levels in the automotive industry like tire techs? Or race car drivers\pit crews as they are exposed for hour and hours of tire dust in the air?

Terrible title and mediocre article. Mention of the ppb levels of ozone at ground level, and nothing about concentrations that showed results in their model animal. Title is far too fear-mongering and click-baity.

Oops edit: "No mention" at the beginning of the second sentence.

What's a good science magazine or website where I can read a more credible source?

Kintarian@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 70d

Science Daily is good.
