I know the processes have changed over the years and I think the concerns of the far past are no longer an issue. I forgot to mention the rubber that goes into the tires which is also a natural substance (although in recent years the manufacturers have switched to synthetic rubber). All I can tell you is that I have analyzed tire debris for volatile organic compounds, semi-volatile organic compounds, metals, pesticides, PCBs, etc. using USEPA-approved methods to parts per billion and parts per million range. I have also analyzed the actual oils that they use in the tire manufacturing process using the same highly sensitive analytical techniques and I stand by my characterization of tires. This experience covers 20 years of experience in the environmental industry.

My point is that the tires are a nuisance and an eyesore but are not a potential source of chemicals to the environment that would be of concern. I for one would be glad to participate in a cleanup if I can swing it. By the way, what plant did you work at? Just curious as I have worked at a bunch of facilities in the southeast and was wondering if we were at the same plant at the same time.
