Washing load influences the microplastic release from polyester fabrics by affecting wettability and mechanical stress
Abstract Microplastics released from textiles during the washing process represent the most prevalent type of microparticles found in different environmental compartments and ecosystems around the world. Release of microfibres during the washing process of synthetic textiles is due to the mechanical...
