I worked in rebuilding salmon habitat over much of Northern Snohomish County 38 years ago in the first Adopt a Stream program; it was looking pretty grim for their survival back then.
I agree with some here ,the tire company's need to stop putting that chemical in tier sold in the north west. Just like California did with gas . Special blends .it will cost more but be worth it in the long run.
What we need is less people on planet earth. Next or even more important all of humanity should live in only two or three massive city/state regions Lastly , focus market economics in various directions other than levels of production in a cohesive way
Produce a tire that is 6PPDQ-free, make it recognizable like a different color, or a marking. Then people who want to show their support can buy these tires. They'll be more expensive at first. A status symbol virtue signal. But it would work. Eventually over a few years all new tires are 6PPD-free. Start a work program to pay citizens for all the old tires they can bring in, from waterways especially. Use the old tires as raw material for a thermal conversion plant that would separate the tires into petroleum and carbon solids, use the petroleum to make diesel to run the tire processing plant.
it's a preservative that makes the tire last longer... you'll be buying more and more tires which contributes overall to more pollution as they're made in factories. Like they stated in the video it isn't the chemical itself but the fact that our roadways run off into their spawning streams, that also means they're prone to other chemicals, etc. again the problem is our roadways. also, no tire manufacture is going to make tires exclusive to the PNW that nobody would buy anyways.
As someone with an actual chemistry degree (BS Chemistry, University of California, Irvine), your question doesn't make any sense as the substance of concern is an organic compound, not a particular element with different amount of neutrons as with actual isotopes, but really this news story doesnt involve any radioactive elements. DO you even know the scientific meaning let alone the relevance of isotopes for this particualr news story? Just becuase it's chemical doesn't mean it's going to be radioactive, and if it was, I don't think it would be a mere news story, let alone it actually would affect human populations, and of course it would be an imminent serious threat that not only it would make headlines, but the Federal government would be involved at that point. PLus, it's a chemical compound coming from tires, not from nuclear materials/waste...
I don't get the isotope question. Are you asking if the chemical degradant 6PPD-quinone is an isotope of 6PPD, or if other degraded forms of 6PPD might be isotopes and part of the problem as well?
What about the homeless the county/cities are allowing to live ON the rivers?? I though we cared about our environment here on WA. Drive along the green river and you will get a rude awakening.
They are causing some of the problem, and there definitely is something that can be done about the homeless living wherever they want. What a stupid statement.
@@Notyourgirl253 you clearly haven't gone down to see the situation on the river yourself. You should.. it's a problem that we can fix.. unlike rubber from tires making it into the river.. are we soposed to stop driving cars?
@@Shwondo541 nope. Just tired of the region wasting so much time and money as if the salmon had no ability to adapt and migrate and their moving would be the end of days. It’s a waste of tax monies.
They won't adapt Adaptation only occurs at geological pace of time , if life is lucky If i put a gun to your face and pull the trigger , will you adapt before my bullet splits your wig ?
I love biologists, they can do all the science experiments, read graphs, review biological data, etc ... But they still can't even grab a dead fish with their bare hands.... Yep that's a biologist for you...

It's so depressing. There's no punishment for companies that happily destroy the planet in their quest for more wealth.

This is old news from 2 years ago. Only took them 20 years to figure it out.
Thanks for your work.
The world is a better place because of people like you 🙂
They have known for years. Nothing to replace it that doesn’t have inherent obsolescence like good old rubber.
I agree with some here ,the tire company's need to stop putting that chemical in tier sold in the north west. Just like California did with gas . Special blends .it will cost more but be worth it in the long run.
what does it do to humans? Lung tissue ?
Unethical to research on humans so animal studies are as close as we are going to get for effects until 20-30 years passes.
We don't matter.
Nothing good
Best to take your shoes off indoors. I remember them using old tires for making roads in Wyoming back in the day.
Tire reefs of Puget Sound!!! Look it up and clean it up
What we need is a complex system of drainage pipes, pumps and expensive filters.
What we need is less people on planet earth.
Next or even more important all of humanity should live in only two or three massive city/state regions
Lastly , focus market economics in various directions other than levels of production in a cohesive way

Problem is that whatever we replace it with will likely be just as terrible. Just like with BPA

Can we at least find a way to extract the rubber from dead salmon to recycle it into tires.
No , there is no rubber in salmon .
he has a problem thinking... fox news forgot to tell him what to think@@knyghtryder3599
Have they tested for isotopes, too?

"why aren't we blaming those who aren't causing the problem and have the least ability to do anything about it?!" 🙄🙄🙄

@@mcyclonegt No , your statement was stupid , UA-cam science is just too hard for you , maybe stick to finger painting with your homeless buddies

@@Notyourgirl253 you shouldn't assume.. I farm, hunt and fish for most of my food. And I use solar sooo...
So they found one salmon that didn't make it 😀, cut it, gut it, and did some samples?!?!?💩
I see your favorite numbers are imaginary
Aahahaha, so they said that they are trying to figure out how to spend $$$$$, aahahahahha this is too funny 🤣🤣🤣
so as 'GOD' what species do you want to eliminate next?
Screw salmon. They will adapt of die.
Said the cyborg
Nice one genius. You must live in the city..
@@Shwondo541 nope.
Just tired of the region wasting so much time and money as if the salmon had no ability to adapt and migrate and their moving would be the end of days. It’s a waste of tax monies.
I like to fish for salmon so I kind of want them to be around. But it's futile at this point. They're declining faster than they are reproducing.
They won't adapt
Adaptation only occurs at geological pace of time , if life is lucky
If i put a gun to your face and pull the trigger , will you adapt before my bullet splits your wig ?
I love biologists, they can do all the science experiments, read graphs, review biological data, etc ... But they still can't even grab a dead fish with their bare hands.... Yep that's a biologist for you...
What , in your mind would be the advantage of handling hundreds of rotting fish corpses bare handed ? Seems fairly dumb .......
