Question

From an article in The Guardian:
Researchers at the University of California at Santa Barbara have found that synthetic fleece jackets release 1.7 grams of microfiber during each wash. These
microfibers then travel to the local wastewater treatment plant, where up to 40% of them enter rivers, lakes and oceans.

Answer 1

Answer:

Our research found that microfibers are prevalent in both aquatic and terrestrial habitats, from the bottom of the Indian Ocean to farmland in the United States. Our experimental results found that when synthetic jackets are washed, on average 1,174 milligrams of microfibers are released from the washing machine. These microfibers then travel to local wastewater treatment plant, where up to 40% of them can enter into rivers, lakes, and oceans (depending on local wastewater treatment conditions).
