With approximately 1.5 billion tires produced annually, the management and disposal of waste tires pose significant environmental challenges worldwide. While tire recycling has the potential to mitigate some environmental issues, existing studies reveal notable gaps and associated risks to human health and the environment, highlighting the need for a comprehensive review.
This study utilized primary search engines, including Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed, in conjunction with relevant keywords, to identify pertinent studies published in peer-reviewed journals. Data and information regarding the application of waste tires in environmental and health-related contexts were systematically extracted.
Out of 1275 potential articles, 80 studies met the criteria for inclusion in this review. The majority of these studies focused on the use of discarded tires in the construction sector, with 49 % specifically addressing their application in artificial turf fields.
A comprehensive assessment of the health and environmental implications of various recycling methods is essential to determine their feasibility. The increasing utilization of recycled tires across diverse sectors raises new concerns that warrant such investigations. Understanding the health effects associated with recycled tire products can provide valuable insights for both researchers and policymakers.
每年大约生产15亿个轮胎，废旧轮胎的管理和处置给全球带来了重大的环境挑战。虽然轮胎回收有潜力缓解一些环境问题，但现有研究揭示了显著差距以及对人类健康和环境的相关风险，凸显了进行全面综述的必要性。
本研究利用包括Scopus、科学网和PubMed在内的主要搜索引擎，并结合相关关键词，来识别发表在同行评审期刊上的相关研究。系统提取了有关废旧轮胎在环境和健康相关背景下应用的数据和信息。
在1275篇潜在文章中，有80项研究符合纳入本综述的标准。这些研究大多聚焦于废弃轮胎在建筑行业的使用，其中49%特别关注其在人造草皮场地的应用。
对各种回收方法的健康和环境影响进行全面评估对于确定其可行性至关重要。回收轮胎在不同行业的日益利用引发了新的担忧，需要进行此类调查。了解与回收轮胎产品相关的健康影响可为研究人员和政策制定者提供有价值的见解。
