Wow, went down that rabbit hole, and what awful reporting, spammed all over the place without real attribution. It wasn't even published/reviewed, it's BioRXiv with heavy promotion. However, I did find a paper with something other than breathless commentary on microplastics. Interestingly, it's mostly unwoven PE/PS fabrics that generate microplastics, except in the case of nylon which decays in UV. Also many allergies due to synthetic contact are due to coatings (for wear and flammability) not the materials themselves. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0048969721046295 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S004896972... https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.01.25.428144v3 https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.01.25.428144v3
