The use of waste tires in recreational areas and their impact on the environment

Original language description

Hobby recreation is most often associated with activities in the countryside, consisting of plant cultivation and cottage farming in personal recreational facilities. These are often called &quot;a second home&quot; which the owner together with adjacent land in personal ownership has to care for. Vacationers often make use of different means to minimize manual labour to maintain their gardens nice. One of them is the use of waste tires and products made from them. Presuming that a tire is a durable and harmless material, they apply it to the soil (rubber granulate) or use it as planting pots for growing vegetables. Such a waste tires or granulate can also appear to be a design element that can help minimize time spent in garden maintenance (water retention, weed control etc.). Although the tire seems to be a very practical product and material, it is also a waste that can be hazardous to the environment and human health due to its composition. This study evaluated the effect of waste tires microparticles using a 28-day subchronic phytotoxicity test (repeated container experiment with substrate and determined microparticle proportions of 0%, 5%, 25%, 50% and 75%) using selected plant species: Lepidium sativum L. and Sinapis alba L. The evaluation of the test showed in several cases increased phytotoxicity of the substrate after prolonged exposure of microparticles in the soil.
