Washing clothes related to ocean pollution?

Billions of plastic molecules are released when people wash synthetic fiber clothes (such as nylon, polyester or acrylic) that are contributing to ocean pollution. This fact is drawn from a serious study published in the journal Environmental Science and Technology.

Research shows that plastic molecules in clothes after being washed into the sea in the flow of waste water will accumulate in the body of marine species, seriously affecting the health of infected species and people when consuming them.

Pollution by plastic molecules takes place everywhere

Experts determined that the source of plastic contamination is mainly derived from the washing of synthetic fiber clothes, not from the break, break of plastic items or cleaning operations, cleaning other items like previous hypotheses.

More significantly, contamination by plastic molecules takes place everywhere. After conducting a survey of 18 beaches across six continents, the team concluded that the most severe pollution fell on the coasts near the urban areas.

When plastic molecules penetrate the animal's body, they quickly move from the stomach to the circulatory system, then accumulate in the cells, adversely affecting marine species. The population continues to increase, the use of synthetic fibers also increases, the environmental pollution due to plastic molecules will definitely become more serious.
