Importance of Water-Volume on the Release of Microplastic Fibers from Laundry

The influence of laundry washing parameters on the release of microfibers (MF) from polyester textiles was studied. These fibers are an important type of microplastic pollution. However, the factors which affect MF release during laundry are poorly understood and more rigorous methods for quantifyin...
