Question

Air pollution segregation of waste and plastic

Answer 1

The Lancet’s commission on pollution and health recently produced a reportstating that pollution was the largest environmental cause of death and disease, responsible for over 9 million premature deaths around the globe in 2015. Air pollution is among the most pervasive environmental threats on human health, accounting for over two-thirds — more than 6 million — of the 9 million deaths linked to all environmental pollution. Plastic’s contribution to air pollution, especially in the world’s poorer countries, is an insidious but important way in which plastic pollution harms people today, not to mention the impact on future generations.
