Human and Environmental Threats from Coir Products Publisher: American Excelsior Co. Overview: Discussing about the various human and environmental threats of coir industry, this paper urges people to shift to non-coir products. It draws attention to a process called retting, which is causing extensive biotic damage to costal estuaries in the coir exporting countries. The paper raises concern over the flourishing of a species of spiders coming from these countries that pose threat to the humans and the ecosystem. This paper concludes that it is better to eliminate the use of these products in order to protect erosion and sediment control professionals, to stop environmental degradation, to prevent the potential spread of invasive species, and to reduce the carbon footprint by utilizing other products in place of coir.
