A Long-Term Study on the Content of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Rubber from End-of-Life Tires of Passenger Cars and Trucks.

ABSTRACT: At the European level, limits have been set (REACH) for the content of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in products with rubber and plastic components that come into contact with human skin or the oral cavity. These limit values reported in Commission Regulation (EU) 1272/2013 are of particular importance for the utilization of end-of-life tires (ELT) as recycled rubber materials for consumer applications, but a suitable analytical method has not yet been specified. On the other hand, comprehensive measurement series of the PAH content of ELT materials are scarce in the context of compliance testing against this regulation and general published PAH levels in ELT materials are often based on very different analytical methods. In the present work, the PAH content of three different rub
