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.
