Shedding off-the-grid: The role of garment manufacturing and textile care in global microfibre pollution (2023)
Journal Article

Textile fibres are abundant anthropogenic pollutants. These fibres enter aquatic, terrestrial, and atmospheric environments, and biota. Textile fibres pose biological and chemical threats to the environments they pollute. Laundry is a primary source...
