This research critically reviewed the influence of textile characteristics, including content (fiber composition), yarn construction, material structure, and treatment type, on microplastic release from products during washing. To date, predominant focus has been washing parameters rather than intrinsic characteristics textiles. The findings this review revealed that natural, man-made, mixed-composition fabrics tend to more microfibers compared pure synthetic fabrics. Divergent results have observed in studies microplastics recycled Woven less knitted However, it is evident construction impact composition or high-twist filament yarns reduce formation. Mechanical finishes enhance release, while biodegradable it, but their sustainability durability aspects need further investigation. different types dyes remains unclear. All specified article are pivotal importance research. Overlooking significance any these details can complicate development mitigation strategies.

Recent studies have highlighted the prevalence of microplastic (MP) pollution in global marine environment and these pollutants been found to contaminate even remote regions, including Southern Ocean south polar front. Previous this region mostly focused on MPs larger than 300 μm, potentially underestimating extent MP pollution. This study is first investigate surface waters front, with a focus small 500-11 μm size. Seventeen water samples were collected southern Weddell Sea using an in-house-designed sampling system. The analysis entire sample micro-Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (μFTIR) focal plane array (FPA) detection revealed presence all samples, vast majority detected being smaller (98.3 %). mean concentration reached 43.5 (± 83.8) m

Microplastics (MP) have been reported in Southern Ocean (SO), where they are likely to encounter Antarctic zooplankton and enter pelagic food webs. Here we assess the presence of MP within krill ( Euphausia superba ) salps Salpa thompsoni quantify their abundance type by micro-Fourier transform infrared microscopy. were found both species, with fibres being more abundant than fragments (krill: 56.25% salps: 22.32% total MP). Polymer identification indicated originated from local distant sources. Our findings prove how situ ingestion these organisms is a real ongoing process SO. amount was higher (2.13 ± 0.26 ind −1 (1.38 0.42 ), while size extracted (130 30 µm) significantly lower (330 50 µm). We suggest that differences between ingested two species may be related strategies, ability fragment as well different human pressures collection areas study region. First comparative field-based evidence salps, emblematic SO marine ecosystems, underlines ecosystems particularly sensitive plastic pollution.

Abstract This work provides a comprehensive examination of microplastic air pollution in Antarctica. Due to atmospheric microplastics’ emerging importance, analytical procedures and health effects are discussed. Microplastic poses an increasing threat the unique delicate Antarctic ecosystem, potentially triggering harmful consequences not only for local ecosystem fauna, but also human well-being, given severe implications global scenarios such as imminent worldwide warming melting polar ice. Numerous investigations have now exposed extent prevalence both nano- microplastics this region, significant storehouse planet’s freshwater. highlights challenges assessing hazards that microplastics, particularly nanoscale variants, may pose life maintenance. The results suggest mechanisms mitigation critical transportation reaches. overview better understanding Antarctica while highlighting urgency more research area elucidate precisely short-, medium- long-term arrival these contaminants Antarctic.

Microplastics (MPs) are ubiquitous pollutants that can effectively harm different ecosystems. The information on the relative contribution of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) to surrounding environment is important, in order understand ecological health risks and implement measures reduce their presence. This focus article presents a quantitative assessment concentration types MPs delivered from four WWTPs located at Southeast Spain. Samples were collected throughout four-year period, comprising more than 1,200 L analyzed 3,215 microparticles isolated. Density extraction with 1.08 g/mL NaCl salt solution was systematically used as main separation method, simple reliable manner, repeat cycles did not play any significant impact study outcomes. had removal efficiencies between 64.3% 89.2% after primary, secondary, tertiary phases, without diurnal or daily variations. Advanced methods displayed lower rate for fibers particulate MPs. abundance always higher mean size samples Autumn rest seasons. dumped large quantities into meant be regarded an important point source aquatic terrestrial environments.
