Focus On: Finding Solutions to 6PPD (Number of pages: 4) (Publication Size: 632KB)

| Description | This publication provides an overview of Washington State’s work to find solutions to 6PPD. 6PPD is a chemical added to tires to promote tire longevity and safety. When 6PPD reacts with ozone, it creates 6PPD-quinone. This chemical is toxic to fish, including certain salmon and trout species. Washington State departments, including the Department of Ecology, Department of Fish and Wildlife, Department of Health, and Department of Transportation, are taking action to reduce impacts from 6PPD and 6PPD-quinone. This work focuses on three objectives: 1) Reducing sources of 6PPD in the environment, including identifying a safer alternative; 2) Minimizing and mitigating the impact of 6PPD in the environment; and 3) Furthering research to better understand 6PPD’s effect on human health and key aquatic species. |
