PLASTIC POLLUTION
INTRODUCTION
EFFECT ON HUMANS
1. Because of the chemical additives used during plastic production,
plastics have potentially harmful effects on human health.
2.Indeed, exposure to toxic chemicals coming out of plastic can cause
cancers, birth defects, impaired immunity and other health problems
Some ways to reduce plastic
1. First, we need to collect the plastic waste and separate it from other wastes.
2. Dry the plastic waste.
3. Then, we crush the plastic waste in small particles by crushing machine.
4. Then, adding fine stone dust.
5. The ratio of plastic and stone dust which we use is 3:7
6. The stone dust which we use in manufacturing of bricks/tiles is sieved for a size less than
4.75mm using sieve analysis.
7. Then, we heated the stone dust on a furnace (Bhatti).
8. The fine particles of plastic waste also heated on a furnace (Bhatti) till it is in a liquid form.
9. Then, we add the stone dust into melt plastic.
10. Then, we can mix it properly and make a mix.
11. Then, we poured the mix into moulds.
12. Then keep it the mould for dry and demould it on a next day.
Brick made up from plastic
Fact about plastic brick
1. Water absorption Test = 0 %
2. Efflorescence test = No efflorescence visible
3. Soundness test = ringing sound produced and bricks are not break
4. Hardness test = little bit scratch visible
5. Compressive strength test
Plastic sand brick = 5.6 N/mm2
Fly Ash brick = 3.83 N/mm2
3rd class clay bricks = 3.5 N/mm2
2nd class clay bricks = 7 N/mm2
1st class clay bricks = 10.5 N/mm2
