The production and consumption of textiles is continuously increasing due to the growth of
population and fast fashion. Fiber fragments (1 µm–5 mm) released from garments and …

The ubiquitous appearance of microplastics (MPs) in aquatic environments brings about a
growing concern for plastic pollution. Although the MPs occurrence, transportation, fate, and …

Microplastic pollution caused by washing processes of synthetic textiles has recently been
assessed as the main source of primary microplastics in the oceans. Therefore …

Fiber-based microplastics (FMPs) are highly persistent and ubiquitously exist in the
wastewater of textile industry and urban sewage. It remains challenging to completely …

Textiles are one of the major sources of microplastic pollution to aquatic environments and
have also been reported in dry and wet atmospheric deposition. There is still a lack of …

Synthetic fibers are increasingly seen to dominate microplastic pollution profiles in aquatic
environments, with evidence pointing to textiles as a potentially important source. However …

Microplastics have become one of the most serious environmental hazards today, raising
fears that concentrations will continue to rise even further in the near future …

The extensive application of plastic in human life brings about microplastic (MP) pollution in
the environment. Identifying the potential sources of MPs is necessary to diminish its …

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 …

Plastic microfibre pollution produced by domestic and commercial laundering of synthetic
