Answer 2

Answer:

Plastic Pollution

Plastics are things or objects made of organic polymers or synthetic compounds. The harmful effects of plastics are:

Plastics are a health hazard. Exposure to toxic chemicals emitted by plastics causes cancer, decreases the effectiveness of the immune system, and is responsible for many other diseases.

The dumping of plastic bags, plastic bottles, etc. has created an unhygienic condition to our environment. Plastic litter has become major pollution in our towns and cities.

Plastics are not bio-degradable and can remain unchanged for many years. This adversely affects the fertility and the quality of the soil.

Our fresh water sources like rivers and lakes are becoming dumpsters for plastic bags.

Plastic bags find their way into rivers and oceans. They are swallowed by fish, seabirds, and other marine creatures leading to death by suffocation.

Since plastic bags, plastic bottles, and other discarded plastic products do not degrade, they accumulate in drainage and sewerage systems and block the flow causing waterlogging.

Plastic is often disposed of by burning and this releases poisonous gases into the atmosphere and pollutes the air we breathe.
