AB  - A comprehensive understanding of tire and road wear particles (TRWPs) and their 
      detection and quantification in soils is still challenged by the lack of well-set 
      standardized methods, inherent technological inconsistencies, and generalized 
      protocols. Our protocol includes soil sampling, size separation, and organic 
      matter removal by using hydrogen peroxide followed by density separation and 
      analysis. In this context, roadside soil samples from different sites in Kansas 
      and Ohio, USA, were collected and analyzed. Tire cryogrinds analogous to TRWPs 
      were used to evaluate various density separation media, and collected particles 
      more than 1 mm in size were then subjected to infrared spectroscopy (IR), 
      thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and scanning electron microscopy coupled with 
      energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX) to confirm TRWP presence. 
      Particles smaller than 1 mm were Soxhlet extracted, followed by gas 
      chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to validate the presence of tire-related 
      intermediates. SEM-EDX validated the presence of elemental combinations (S + 
      Zn/Na) +/- (Al, Ca, Mg, K, Si) attributed to tires. Ketones, carboxylic acids, 
      epoxies, cyclohexane, and benzothiazole sulfenamide (BTS) intermediates were the 
      most probable tire-related intermediates observed in the roadside soil samples. 
      Thus, this simple, widely applicable, cost-effective sample preparation protocol 
      for TRWP analysis can assist TRWP research advancement in terrestrial 
      environments.
