Sources, Impacts, and Solutions

About this book

Comprehensive guide to understanding and mitigating the issue of microplastics in textiles, written from the perspective of the manufacturer

Textile Microplastics in the Environment: Sources, Impacts, and Solutions presents essential information pertaining to microplastics or microfibers derived from textile sources as well as mitigation and reduction strategies that benefit both the public and researchers.

Readers will find information on:

  • Origins of textile microplastics, explored from the perspectives of manufacturers
  • Sources, characterization methods, and regulatory aspects of textile microplastics
  • Integration of machine learning and machine vision techniques for the purposes of quantifying and reducing microplastic pollution
  • Environmental and health concerns of microplastic, such as threatening the metabolic activities of aquatic animals
  • A practical framework that establishes a foundation to solve an essential worldwide pollution issue

This title is an essential reference for researchers in the fields of materials, textiles, and the environment who are studying the impacts and origins of fibrous microplastics. The book is also invaluable to industry pro­fessionals, enabling them to modify their process sequences and reduce their pollution footprint.
