According to the Swedish Chemicals Agency, the European Union has intensified the examination of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) content in the imported tires and required authentication and examination certificates from suppliers.
PAHs are produced as byproducts of fuel burning (whether fossil fuel or biomass). When they wear, tires will give off PAHs pollutants which are of concern because of their persistent and cancerogenic harm to people’s health and the environment.
Ningbo Inspection and Quarantine Department notices that Ningbo enterprises should pay much attention to the change, as tires produced in Ningbo are exported to Europe and the United States, the two major markets, at a yearly increasing rate.
