Medicine & TechnologyMicrofiber pollution in the form of laundry lint has serious effects on the health of mussels. Alongside chemical pollutants, a new study reveals implications of microplastic pollution affecting large marine species such as whales and dolphins
Changing production processes in the textile industry can significantly reduce how much microplastic fibers find their way in water systems and eventually in food supplies. Researchers compare the difference between scissor-cut textiles and laser-cut textiles.
