Textiles release microfibers to the environment during production, use, and at end-of-life
disposal. There is a potentially large and growing risk to the environment associated with …

The growing worldwide population is directly responsible for the increased production and
consumption of textile products. One of the key reasons for the generation of microfibers is …

Microfiber pollution is one of the recent threats to sustainability. Due to the increased use of
synthetic textiles, microplastic fiber release to the environment has increased exponentially …

Microfibers are a major component of microplastics and have been found nearly
everywhere, especially in marine and freshwater habitats around the world. Therefore …

Textiles release fibres to the environment during production, use, and at end-of-life disposal.
Approximately two-thirds of all textile items are now synthetic, dominated by petroleum …

Microplastic fibers, also known as microfibers, are the most abundant microplastic forms
found in the environment. Microfibers are released in massive numbers from textile …

Anthropogenic microfibers, a ubiquitous environmental contaminant, can be categorized as
synthetic, semisynthetic, or natural according to material of origin and production process …

Microplastics have been proven to be one of the critical environmental pollution issues.
Moreover, microfibers, the most prominent form of microplastics in the environment, have …

Data corroborated in this study highlights laundry wastewater as a primary source of
microfibers (MFs) in the aquatic environment. MFs can negatively impact the aquatic …

Research on the discharge of synthetic microfibres to aquatic environments has typically
focused on laundering, where fibres can be discharged via wastewater effluent. However …
