i recently attended a training where we were informed that a degraded compound from tires breaks the blood-brain barrier in salmon and causes them to die.

But the human blood-brain barrier is more robust, right? anakin-padme-2

We have larger body compartments outside the brain to soak up those degraded synthetic rubbers, so human bodies will probably tend to get lower intensity doses spread over a greater surface area of tissue to penetrate!

I was going to mention the fish. I didn't know this about salmon. But I knew that rivers that have bridges have a lot fewer fish around the bridges than they otherwise would/should. There is a type of tire that's better for fish (unsure how much better) but it's more expensive so you can guess how likely it'll become widespread.
