Summary

Researchers reviewed the sources, environmental fate, and toxicity of synthetic microfiber pollutants, highlighting how rapid growth in synthetic textile production has dramatically increased microfiber release into air, water, and soil, where they accumulate and pose risks to ecosystems and human health.

The production of synthetic polymer is increasing day by day because of the growing use of synthetic textiles, which results in the amount of microplastic fibers released into the environment skyrocketing. Today synthetic microfiber pollutants are a global concern,...
