Plastics are Harmful!
Plastic seems to be very thin, but it takes lifetimes to disappear. There are still people out there that don’t even know or care about plastic. Plastics are very useful to humans, but also very harmful. The effects of chemicals in plastic can be absorbed by human bodies, ingested by marine animals, injure or poison wildlife, or even disrupt habitats. People can be exposed to chemicals through the air, dust, food, water, and use of consumer products. We have to take a serious action to this and protect the environment in which we’re living.
Plastic will be buried deep in landfills and it will leach harmful chemicals into groundwater. Some plastic chemicals in plastic products can leach into food and drinks. Its a very big concern that 93% of people had detectable levels of BPA in their urine, as reported by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This shows that some of these chemicals can affect the reproduction and development of humans and animals.
