Assessment of microplastics release from polyester fabrics: The impact of different washing conditions
Abstract
Synthetic fibers account for approximately 60% of the total global fiber production, and polyester (PET) and polyamide (PA) dominate. Synthetic fabrics are now widely used in clothing, upholstery, carpets and other such materials. Textiles based on these materials have the potential to release microplastics (<5 mm in size) into the environment during production and cleaning actions. These particles are released in sewage effluents, as washing...
