520 _aStudies on the increase in asthma and latex sensitivity may have linked miniscule airborne residues from rubber tyres to the conditions. The rate of increase of these problems has baffled researchers and immunologists, since, despite control of vehicle emissions and better treatment, the prevalence and severity of the conditions has continued to increase steadily. The respirable airborne particles are thought to produced by normal road wear on tyres, particularly radials. Details are given into research into rubber particles.
