Are There Any Concerns Regarding the Degradation of Geotextiles?
Over time, geotextiles may degrade due to exposure to UV radiation, chemical agents, or biological activity. This degradation can lead to the release of microplastics or other degradation products into the environment, raising potential environmental toxicity concerns. Understanding the degradation pathways and products is crucial for assessing the long-term impacts of geotextiles on ecosystems.
