In recent years, domestic laundry has been recognized as a relevant source of microfiber
(MF) pollution to aquatic environments. Nevertheless, the MF emissions from industrial …

The use of washing machines to wash textiles gradually breaks down synthetic fibers like
polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or polyester (PES) in diverse clothing materials, a process …

Textile industries are known for their higher levels of environmental impact due to their
nature of processes. However, the impact of the textile manufacturing process on emerging …

Microfibers and microplastics are widely recognized emerging pollutants, which have the
potential to cause an Eco-toxicological effect. Cellulosic and synthetic fibers are being …

An emission source of microplastics into the environment is laundering synthetic textiles and
clothing. Mechanical drying as a pathway for emitting microplastics, however, is poorly …

Microplastic fibres released in synthetic cloth washing have been shown to be a source of
microplastics into the environment. The annual emission of polyester fibres from household …

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 …

Synthetic microfibers have been identified as the most prevalent type of microplastic in
samples from aquatic, atmospheric, and terrestrial environments across the globe. Apparel …

Increasing uses of synthetic textiles are now a concerning issue as these synthetic textiles
are shedding microfibers during the laundering of the fabrics and are considered as a …

To prepare measures for washing synthetic fibers, which cause proliferation of microplastics
in the marine ecosystem, a fundamental analysis is required. Therefore, this study …
