Textiles and textile products — Microplastics from textile sources — Part 1: Determination of material loss from fabrics during washing

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research 2023

Summary

Researchers investigated microplastic contamination in artisanal and commercial salt produced in coastal salt flats and evaporation ponds, finding particles in all samples with concentrations reflecting local coastal microplastic levels. The study demonstrates that evaporative salt production inevitably concentrates microplastics from ambient seawater into the final product.
