TL;DR: The annual production of plastic textile fibers has increased by more than 6% per year, reaching 60 million metric tons, about 16% of world plastic production as discussed by the authors, and the degradation of these fibers produces fibrous microplastics (MPs) which have been observed in atmospheric fallouts, as well as in indoor and outdoor environments.
