Synthetic fibers, especially polyester, have over past decades managed to overtake and
dominate the textile industry. Microplastic fibers are shed from synthetic textiles during their …

Microplastic fibers (MPF) are often detected in waste water treatment plants and
environmental samples, which implies a pathway of MPF release from domestic washing of …

Microplastic fibers make up a large proportion of microplastics found in the environment,
especially in urban areas. There is good reason to consider synthetic textiles a major source …

Microplastic fibers (MPFs) have been found to be a major form of microplastics in
freshwaters, and washing of synthetic textiles has been identified as one of their main …

Synthetic textiles are considered a prime source of microplastics fibers which are a prevalent
shape of microplastic pollution. Whilst the release mechanisms and formation of such …

Fiber fragments are one of the dominant types of microplastics in environmental samples,
suggesting that synthetic textiles are a potential source of microplastics to the environment …

Purpose Microfiber is one of the major sources of microplastic emission into the
environment. In recent times, research on microfiber has gained momentum, and research …

Microplastic fibers (MPFs) released from synthetic textiles have been found to be a major
source of microplastic in the environment. There is increasing evidence available that MPFs …

Microplastics are a subject of growing interest as they are a potential threat for living
organisms. Textile microfibers (MFs) are an important microplastics sub-group that have …

Microplastics in the environment are a subject of intense research as they pose a potential
threat to marine organisms. Plastic fibers from textiles have been indicated as a major …
