Clothes particles go right into the water, not air so much

I think this should be a big deal because we can probably do something about it. microplastics from clothing ought to be controllable by pollution regulations on manufacturers and filters on clothes washers

Or buying more clothes with natural fabrics

I’ve been considering the filter idea because it’s something in my control but it’s unclear if currently available Ones are effective

Edit: checked my water treatment since it’s supposed to be among the most advanced, and nope. It does not measure or treat PFAS or microplastics, and it sells treated sewage as fertilizer.

I see those contaminants are mostly blamed on leachate from landfills but that just narrows to the source where we should be doing something
