| | Tyre and wheel pollution in Bogotá, Colombia, is a significant component of the city's overall air quality challenge, primarily through particulate matter (PM2.5) emissions from tyre wear and road dust resuspension, which contribute substantially to the city's air pollution burden. Road traffic is a main source of [[01|air]] pollution in Bogotá, responsible for the vast majority of PM10 and PM2.5 emissions from on-road traffic sources. While many studies focus on exhaust emissions, non-exhaust emissions from brake and tyre wear and road dust are also significant sources of these harmful particles. In addition to airborne particles, the disposal of used tyres is a challenge. A 2015 report estimated that millions of used tyres required proper disposal or recycling, highlighting an issue with tyres being left in streets or stored improperly, leading to fire risks. But the disposed tyres do not come only from vehicules on the road, a big percentage of these disposed tyres are from the [[33|Trans Mi Cable]]. |
