isn't that at least partially caused by the rubber tire particles?
In either case it's a good physical representation of how much particulate we are exposed to every day. Maybe having it trapped in dirty snowbanks is better than having it getting kicked up into the air during a dryer season.

The net effect is a massive reduction in dust and particulates.
Some modern tire additives are incredibly toxic to fish. They’ve been banned in the EU, but for the very special corner case of driving in sensitive watersheds in the US, it’s possible EVs are worse on that one dimension.
Of course, we could just ban the recently approved additive, and completely solve that corner case problem.
