Summary

Researchers critically reviewed the sources, environmental transport routes, toxicological effects, and remediation strategies for marine microfibers, finding that synthetic textiles dominate microfiber pollution and that current wastewater treatment is insufficient to prevent their widespread aquatic distribution.

One of the most prevalent micro-particle contaminants in aquatic environments is microfiber. As new pollutants, more emphasis has been paid to microfibers as an emerging environmental issue worldwide. Almost 10 million tonnes of fibers in which 65%...
