I think a study needs to be done
We are seeing how plastic is becoming a huge problem.
There could be another similar health threat.
20 percent cotton and 80 percent polyester clothing.
Cheap clothing that rubs and the polyester fibres and micro plastics break free and float around in the air.
I wonder how many ppm the microplastics and polyester fibres contribute?
From Google AI
Polyester clothing is a popular, durable, and affordable synthetic fabric made from petroleum, known for being wrinkle-resistant, quick-drying, and shape-retentive, making it common in activewear, outdoor gear, and fast fashion, though it’s less breathable than natural fibers and releases microplastics when washed, raising environmental concerns. It’s versatile, often blended with other fibers, and can be treated for moisture-wicking, but it’s important to wash in cool water, avoid bleach, and air dry to maintain quality and reduce environmental impact.
