Microplastic Release from Washing Textiles by pooja.2021rcl02 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This study investigates the release of microplastic fibers (MPFs) from various synthetic textiles during household washing, focusing on factors such as fabric type, construction, thickness, and weight. Results indicate that woven fabrics, particularly acrylic, release the highest number of MPFs, while recycled polyester releases more than virgin polyester. The study highlights the significant impact of pre-washing on MPF release and suggests that reducing this step could mitigate environmental pollution.
