Swarming! 1000s upon 1000s of happy drivers, keeping the city clean. Fabulous. Now run out and buy one instead of driving around a polluting 4x4. For a poster to call someone called Andy Hall, Matt. I very much doubt the OP his mind. Plantpot you have to call people by their proper names. Mine is Doctor Drivel. |

Clot ("Clot" ) gurgled happily, sounding much like
they were saying: I'm not wishing to enter a dribbling drivel conversation, but Adrian I have been involved in point source and diffuse inputs of heavy metals into the environment. Tyres contain zinc. I had expected that most would have been contributed on motorways and dual carriageways. A university research project currently ongoing is indicating that at least higher concentrations are generated in the urban environment and possibly greater quantities. The work is ongoing. Are tyres the only source of Zinc? |

Have you considered zinc weathering from various forms of galvanised metal? Rural fencing, roofs etc. And tyre/wheel balance weights? -- Rod Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious onset.

Ummm, they don't exactly wear, y'know... They do wear from "sandblasting" and they certainly weather. :-) And what happens to the ones that come off? I'd guess they slowly corrode and disintegrate. -- Rod Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious onset.

dennis@home ("dennis@home" ) gurgled
happily, sounding much like they were saying: "Doctor Drivel" wrote in message ... A neighbour of mine designed the injection systems of the Renault range of diesel engines. He said they are more complex than petrol and still dirtier. Filth, yes filth. Tell your neighbour to get a new job and leave the difficult stuff to people that know what they are doing. Since most Renault DCi common-rail diesels use the same basic Bosch piezo injection system as most other manufacturers, Dribble's neighbour is either a very clever German who Drib's misunderstood completely or one of them's bull****ting frantically. It's not exactly news that common rail diesel injection tech is way in advance of that on petrol injections, and they _are_ "dirtier" by some emission measurements. And cleaner on others. |
