TESTING AND MEASURING Quantitative Determination of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Tyres Using Robust GC-MS/MS Technique 

The advent of stringent regulations, like EU REACH, has intensified focus on green compliance, restricting hazardous substances in consumer products. The probable presence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in automobile tyres, originating from carbon black and mineral oils, poses serious environmental and health risks.

Industries worldwide are prioritising sustainability and environmentally responsible practices, integrating eco-friendly materials and processes to reduce their ecological footprint. This shift is driven by the need to meet regulatory requirements, enhance resource efficiency, and promote long-term environmental stewardship. The growing concerns about the usage of materials that are toxic and pose a risk to human health or harm the environment led to the formation of regulations.
