“…Strong acid extraction techniques have been developed to assess the bulk metal contents in TCR products 9 , 24 , 25 . For example, Cd ranging from 0.09 to 1.39 mg/kg and levels of Pb from 1.9 to 33.1 mg/kg were found in commercially available TCR mulch after strong acid digestion with microwave 25 .…”

Whether a tire crumb rubber (TCR) playground would expose children to potentially harmful chemicals such as heavy metals is an open question. The released metals available for pickup on the surface of TCR tiles was studied by accelerated 2-year aging of the TCRs in the NIST-SPHERE (National Institute of Standards and Technology Simulated Photodegradation via High Energy Radiant Exposure). The dermal contact was mimicked by a method of composite surface wiping from US Environmental Protection Agency throughout the weathering process. The surface release of ten most concerned harmful metals (Be, Cr, Cu, As, Se, Cd, Sb, Ba, Tl, Pb) was monitored through the course of aging. The cumulative release of Cu, As, Tl, and Sb reached potentially harmful levels at various times within 3 years, although only Cr was found at a harmful level on the surface of the tiles. Taking the cleansing effect of precipitation or periodic cleansing with rain into account, TCR playgrounds may still be safe for use.

“…One of the main reasons for the recycling process is the procedure for disposal's harmful impact on the environment, nature and human health as it is complicated and the waste is environmentally hazardous [1]. Certain authors tell us about the performance of certain rubber components on human health and its association with the occurrence of certain diseases [2][3][4][5][6]. The beginnings of recycling were in the United States in the 1960s and in Europe, recycling of tires began in the 1980s [7].…”

During the last two decades, technological development has led to an extreme increase in transport and connected industries. This has significantly increased the production of automobile tires, which have their life span after which they go to waste. It is therefore necessary to extricate new products from recycled raw materials. For a product to be created, it is necessary, especially in civil engineering, to examine and determine all the properties of this material (pressure, traction, stress resistance, etc.). The results obtained by the research in this paper are mathematically processed by applying a logarithmic model. The aim of this process is to predict stress deformation in terms of tensile force. The model obtained is significant with accuracy of 87.21% and has a very high accuracy of the deformation estimation in relation to the applied stress. Independent variables were granulometric composition, binder (glue) and specific mass.
