Microfibre Pollution from Textiles (eBook, PDF)

Research Advances and Mitigation Strategies
Redaktion: Rathinamoorthy, R.; Balasaraswathi, S. Raja

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Textile materials shed microfibres during different phases of their life cycle. While much attention has been paid to the impact of microplastics on the environment, there has been less focus on the impact of microfibre pollution, which also poses a serious environmental threat.
