That urban black dust that accumulates on lawn furniture etc., how much of that is tires? The colour seems right.



I believe a lot of that is soot from diesel exhaust. And the two-cycle motors people use to mow their lawns and blow their leaves are amazingly polluting. Some of it might be the motor oil and partially-combusted gasoline they spew out. I'm curious what the balance is.
