With the consistent and unending researches been done about living and the entire ecosystem at large,to an extent has brought to light some of the dark and less cared free attitude we humans put on that endanger our lives and existence one way or the other. One thing is about living,another thing is about living to the fullness even at a strong and healthy lifestyle.
According to affirmed researches,plastics are released into the ocean in the form of nylon,fleece,polyesters,rayon and many more. These come in the form of synthetic fibers known as micro fibers which are too little and tiny to be beheld by the eye. Inasmuch as these are too tiny to be seen then will less attention be paid to it and its negative impact been felt turning into to be a little leaven that leavens the whole lump.
From records according to estimation from the U.S scientists ranging from the year of 1950 to 2016,the volume if 2.9millions of tonnes of micro fibers are already been released. Because of its tiny nature there is a frequent release of such into the water bodies thereby troubling the aquatic animals and reducing their activities and longevities.
The How and Deadly Nature of these Microfibres
Owing to the fact that this information is rare and that not much research has been done before now about this, the consistent and frequent use of this has caused alot to us. The backlash of this is not the fact that this Microfibres are been released but the chemicals associated to them is what makes it
so harmful. Aquatic animals like whale,consumes such microfibers and as a result of its chemical content acts by making the aquatic animal to be stomach full but invariably is empty and by so doing starves the animal to death and we human consumes such without he foreknowledge as to what we have taken into the body.
Way Forward for Our Betterment
Dating back to the total number if textiles been produced in a year which is up to 40million tons according to max Kelly who is a researcher in marine biotechnology Newcastle university. It us confirmed to be that these synthetic fibers contains more of polyesters which are released from plastics. Notable truth is that the production of cloths and clothing materials won't be stopped but for the fact being that there should be a reduction or a way of minimizing the out firms from these fibers considered dangerous to health. Considering the style of production of laundry machines, the detergents been used and wastewater management just to mention but a few should be brought to monitor and device a means for control.
Some proven ways to help includes;
Using of a highly and well maintained efficient washing machines.
Change of washing cycles
Much loads during washing and a well managed and monitored detergent.
