October
*Speaker Series Event* Understanding Tire Wear Particles and 6PPD-q
Every time we drive, our tires wear down, releasing particles and a toxic chemical byproduct known as 6PPD-q into our environment. What does this mean for our local ecosystems and waterways? Join us on Wednesday, October 21 from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM for an engaging community lecture and discussion on this urgent environmental challenge. We’ll break down the science behind 6PPD and 6PPD-q, explore how we are addressing the issue, and share practical ways you can get involved and take action.
