Remedial Measures for Microfiber Mitigation in the Environment: A Review

The escalating usage of household laundry machines among city dwellers significantly contributes to the contamination of the environment due to fiber release. Microfibers and laundry discharge find their way into sewage systems adjacent to rivers and oceans, eventually resulting in marine pollution. Once emitted, these minuscule particles spread widely throughout the sea because of their low molecular mass. Raising public consciousness initiatives and enhanced training regarding nanofiber pollution during the laundering process will effectively raise social awareness about nanofiber release. This review delves into the mitigation strategies and techniques for the identification and characterization of microfibers.
