Interesting article on Microfiber pollution... I'm keenly aware of the average Pollution we see everywhere , but had no idea that Microfibers could be such a growing problem.

Out of sight, out of mind I guess. I'd almost bet that stuff would be a gill irritant.:(

i too caught that article the other day. Living in the country and dealing with our waste water on site it never even crossed my mind that all those tiny micro beads and threads would make it through the city treatment plants and end up in the lakes and streams. It seems no matter how hard we try we always miss something that comes back and bites us.
