In this episode we talk with Dr. Ed Kolodziej of the University of Washington Tacoma about a recently discovered chemical called 6PPD-Quinone that comes from car tires and is extremely toxic to coho salmon. The NCWA has been sampling for this chemical in roadway runoff since 2022 and working with Ed’s lab. We cover what it is, how they isolated it, what the NCWA has found, and what you can do to minimize your car tires’ impact on aquatic life.
