(4) "The existence of microplastics in the aquatic ecosystem creates a huge hazard for the fish farming units. The prevalence of microplastics in the marine environment also highlights their potential nature as pollutant vehicles and transmitters to the biotic aquatic population"
It is estimated that up to 35% of all primary source microplastics in the marine environment come from synthetic materials used in clothing. This means that a significant portion of marine microplastics is the direct result of synthetic fibers worn by humans.
