Seaport Particles
                This is from an environmental tapelift collected
                  in an office building next to a container ship dock in San Francisco Bay.
                  Large ships burning Bunker C oil generate large cenospheres such as the fractured
                  one on the left of
                  this image. Truck, large jitney, and crane tires create large tire wear particles
                  like the particle on the right.
