I understand that no matter how tires are used they are going to pollute
surface and groundwaters eventually. However, when burned as a fuel,
tires create and release into animal tissue and byproducts (milk,
cheese, ice cream, and such) dioxins and furans, as well as toxic
metals, such as cadmium, and possibly mercury.
We are looking for a safer solution for our children's future.
Cheers,
