the offgassing non-issue. Tires are hazardous in piles not Earthships
There is an extensive study by the University of Wisconsin-Madison that was presented to us by the state of New Mexico. The cover page of which is here. It can be obtained through the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, Wisconsin, 53706. It would probably cost something to get it. In addition to this study, we have 30 years of experience living with the tire buildings. It has been our experience that this type of first-hand knowledge is often more valuable than any study at any price. Tires are Hazardous is piles, not Earthships.

usually i will tell people that the reason i recycle [and compost] is because i hate paying rent for garbage, but this architect could change my mind.
What about the toxicity of tires?
