自然纤维工业警告说,由于合成衣物使用量激增,合成衣物微塑料对健康构成风险。 Natural fiber industry warns of health risks from microplastics in synthetic clothes as their use surges.

天然纤维生产商正在强调合成衣物中发现的微塑料的健康风险,因为全球对石油和天然气纤维的使用达到了创纪录的水平。 Natural fiber producers are emphasizing the health risks of microplastics found in synthetic clothing, as global use of oil and gas-based fabrics reaches record levels. 所消费的75%以上的纺织品纤维是合成的,其中聚酯占全球纤维产量的57%。 Over 75% of textile fibers consumed are synthetic, with polyester making up 57% of global fiber production. 这些微塑料与认知衰落等健康问题相关联。 These microplastics are linked to health issues like cognitive decline. 天然纤维,如棉花和羊毛,是可生物降解的和环境友好的。 Natural fibers, like cotton and wool, are biodegradable and environmentally friendly. 工业领导人正在共同努力,促进这些利益,并打击快速时装工业对低成本合成品的依赖。 Industry leaders are working together to promote these benefits and combat the fast fashion industry's reliance on low-cost synthetics.
