Microfiber pollution from clothing, carpets, cigarette filters, and other products have been found nearly everywhere on earth, including deep-sea environments, soil, and indoor and outdoor air, potentially posing toxic risk to humans and other terrestrial and marine species. To address this issue and mitigate impacts, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and NOAA: National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration have published the Interagency Marine Debris Coordinating Committee Report on Microfiber Pollution, outlining goals and recommendations for industry stakeholders and governmental regulators.
