Microbeads have recently become the target of extensive bans due to their deleterious environmental impacts, but they may soon have to compete with another tiny pollutant for attention: microfibers. A new study commissioned by the outdoor clothing company Patagonia looks at how microfibers in fleeces and other synthetic clothes are contaminating bodies of water, littering shorelines, and infiltrating food systems. It adds to the growing literature on this global problem by finding that washing the company’s synthetic jackets releases an average of 1.7 grams of microfibers, or as many as 250,000 synthetic fibers and an average of over 80,000 fibers. http://fus.in/28Xsd5U http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ This video was produced by YT Wochit News using http://wochit.com
