Microplastic pollution has received great importance due to its adverse environmental and health impact. Microplastic particles are found to contaminate the ecosystem. Research has reported microplastics on seashores, in deep seas, freshwater systems including rivers and lakes, and most importantly in the air. Various land-based and water-based organisms are also contaminated with microplastics. The most serious issue is when these particles are found in the food chain and air which can reach the human system. It has been estimated that human beings can intake up to 1,21,000 microplastic particles in a year through food and inhalation. Being one of the most polluting industries, the contribution of Textile industries in microplastic pollution is extremely higher (around 35%). This book addresses the issue of microfiber/microplastic pollution cause by various techniques including home laundry and the ways to alleviate it. 410 0$aSustainable Textiles: Production, Processing, Manufacturing & Chemistry,$x2662-7116 606 $aPollution 606 $aBuilding materials 606 $aSustainability 606 $aPollution 606 $aWood, fabric, and textiles 606 $aSustainability 615 0$aPollution. 615 0$aBuilding materials. 615 0$aSustainability. 615 14$aPollution. 615 24$aWood, fabric, and textiles. 615 24$aSustainability. 676 $a628.52 700 $aRathinamoorthy$b R.$01197645 702 $aBalasaraswathi$b S.
