Textiles do make a huge amount of microplastics. This has been known for awhile.
As for dust in the home - I have not heard these are microplastics. And given how it reacts I do not think it is.
The tire thing was a more recent discovery but makes a lot of sense - tire dust cannot be good for us to inhale or be getting into our bodies via other methods.
- taeric 1y agoI don't think I've seen too much discussion of home dust, all told. Just going on a general view of what else could it be? Yes, dead skin and such makes up a lot. But as we use more and more synthetic fibers, those are spun far thinner than the thinnest plastic sheet. By design. Hard to believe that they don't make up a large portion of the microplastics out there. Would be delighted to find out I'm wrong on this.
