PLASTIC ON ENVIRONMENT!!!

2. Plastic is one of the few new chemical materials which pose environmental
problem. Polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene is largely used in the
manufacture of plastics. Plastic is the general common term for a wide range of
synthetic or semi synthetic organic solid materials suitable for the manufacture
of industrial products. Plastics are typically polymers of high molecular weight,
and may contain other substances to improve performance and/or reduce costs.

4. PLASTICS ADVERSE EFFECTS ON OUR ENVIRONMENT 1}Plastic pollute
beaches &oceans Garbage has been discarded into the oceans for as long as
humans have sailed the seven seas or lived on seashores or near waterways
flowing into the sea. Since the 1940s, plastic use has increased dramatically,
resulting in a huge quantity of nearly indestructible, lightweight material floating
in the oceans and eventually deposited on beaches worldwide
5. 2} Plastic bags litter the landscape Once they are used, most plastic bags go
into landfill, or rubbish tips. Each year more and more plastic bags are ending up
littering the environment. Once they become litter, plastic bags find their way
into our waterways, parks, beaches, and streets. And, if they are burned, they
infuse the air with toxic fumes.
6. 3} Plastic bags kill animals About 100,000 animals such as dolphins, turtles
whales, penguins are killed every year due to plastic bags. Many animals ingest
plastic bags, mistaking them for food, and therefore die. And worse, the ingested
plastic bag remains intact even after the death and decomposition of the animal.
Thus, it lies around in the landscape where another victim may ingest it.
7. 4} Plastic bags are non-biodegradable And one of the worst environmental
effects of plastic bags is that they are non- biodegradable. The decomposition of
plastic bags takes about 1000 years.
8. Some of the constituents of plastic such as benzene are known to cause
cancer. Plastic resins themselves are flammable and have contributed
considerably to several accidents worldwide. Plastic plays the villain right from
the stage of its production. The major chemicals that go into the making of
plastic are highly toxic and pose serious threat to living beings of all species on
earth. PLASTICS EFFECT ON HUMAN LIFE
9. Recycling of plastic is associated with skin and respiratory problems, resulting
from exposure to and R I o m c a k g inhalation of toxic fumes, especially
hydrocarbons and i B n a e n residues released during the process. d t h h a a t s
p c l a a p s p t y i , c , c h e e v a e p n p t l h a e s t i c . . . 5 7When you recycle
a hazard, you create a hazard. Once plastic is produced, the harm is done once
and for all. Plastic defies any kind of attempt at disposal be it through recycling,
burning, or landfilling.
10. MEASURES 1.Single-use plastic bags have become such a ubiquitous way of
life that it seems as if we simply cannot do without them. However, if we have
the will, we can start reducing their use in small ways. 2.A tote bag can make a
good substitute for holding the shopping. You can keep the bag with the cahier,
and then put your purchases into it instead of the usual plastic bag.
11. MEASURES 3.Recycling the plastic bags you already have is another good
idea. These can come into use for various purposes, like holding your garbage,

instead of purchasing new ones. 4. While governments may be working out ways
to lessen the impact of plastic bags on the environment, however, each of us
should shoulder some of the responsibility for this problem, which ultimately
harms us.
