“…Among the samples containing microplastics, 76% had PE as the primary ingredient. Though packaging materials are reportedly the biggest source of PE-based microplastics (Jessieleena and Nambi 2023 ), from this review, it is realized that PCPs could also be another biggest source of PE-based microplastics. The size distribution was made for the three top-selling products (facial cleanser and scrubs), and the size was noted to vary between 11 and 968 μm.…”

Municipal wastewater has been considered as one of the largest contributors and carriers of microplastics to the aquatic environment. However, the various residential activities that generate municipal wastewater are equally significant whenever the source of microplastics in aquatic system is accounted. However, so far, only municipal wastewater has received wide attention in previous review articles. Hence, this review article is written to address this gap by highlighting, firstly, the chances of microplastics arising from the usage of personal care products (PCPs), laundry washing, face masks, and other potential sources. Thereafter, the various factors influencing the generation and intensity of indoor microplastic pollution and the evidence available on the possibility of microplastic inhalation by humans and pet animals are explained. Followed by that, the removal efficiency of microplastics observed in wastewater treatment plants, the fate of microplastics present in the effluent and biosolids, and their impact on aquatic and soil environment are explored. Furthermore, the impact of aging on the characteristics of microsized plastics has been explored. Finally, the influence of age and size of microplastics on the toxicity effects and the factors impacting the retention and accumulation of microplastics in aquatic species are reviewed. Furthermore, the prominent pathway of microplastics into the human body and the studies available on the toxicity effects observed in human cells upon exposure to microplastics of different characteristics are explored.

“…Além métricas obtidas, todos os estudos aqui citados indicam que as fibras sintéticas de tecidos são uma das principais fontes de MP que são liberados nos rios e oceanos por meio de efluentes de águas residuais e diversas fontes não pontuais (Jessieleena et al, 2023;Weis, 2019;Cesa et al, 2017).…”

Este capítulo aborda a poluição por microplásticos (MP), com foco nas microfibras liberadas ao se lavarem roupas sintéticas, como poliéster, acrílico e poliamida. O objetivo é analisar a relação entre a liberação de microfibras plásticas durante a lavagem doméstica de roupas e os fatores envolvidos. As microfibras plásticas são liberadas ao se lavarem roupas, poluindo os ecossistemas aquáticos, tornando-se uma crescente preocupação ambiental devido aos impactos potenciais na vida marinha e na saúde humana. A pesquisa usa abordagem bibliométrica, buscando dados em bases como Scopus e Web of Science. Foram analisados 171 artigos sobre microplásticos, microfibras e lavagem doméstica de roupas. Apesar da dificuldade em se compararem os trabalhos entre si, devido à falta de padronização nos métodos utilizados nos artigos, resultados mostram que parâmetros de lavagem, como tipo de detergente, temperatura da água e duração do ciclo, influenciam a liberação de
