Notes 
Sampling MethodsSamples of tyre tread and sidewall were collected from car and HGVs. Tyre tread samples were collected as tyre vent spews, which are the small hair-like protrusions found on the tyre surface as air escapes the mould during tyre moulding. Vent spews were removed from the tyre tread of new, undriven tyres using a clean ceramic blade and stored prior to analysis. Tyre sidewall samples were also vent spews, but taken from the side of the tyre surface.
Uncertainty NotesAn uncertainty analysis for the ICP-MS measurement, including the digestion method, was performed by the National Physical Laboratory.
