Where does the rubber go?

I was wondering if anyone has looked into where the rubber from tread wear goes. Could it have an effect on people, is it possibly responsible for asthma or other lung issues? I would think when it wears off of tires it becomes airborne because with all the vehicles on the road I never notice the rubber dust anywhere. Perhaps someone should look into getting a grant($$) to study the effect it has on living creatures.
