Webinar on 6PPD from State Ecology

What is 6PPD?

In 2020, researchers at the University of Washington-Tacoma, Washington State University, and additional collaborators identified the connection between car tires, 6PPD-quinone, and pre-spawn mortality in coho salmon. In response to this discovery, WA State Dept of Ecology is taking action to protect humans and aquatic organisms from these chemicals, including closely monitoring ongoing research and conducting research of our own.
