Answer:
The effect and remedial plans of following materials on environment and human health. plastic,glass,themocol are:
Explanation:
Plastic:- Plastics occur serious environment pollution such as soil pollution, water pollution, and air pollution. Application of proper rules and regulations for the production and use of plastics can reduce toxic effects of plastics on human health and environment.
Thermocol:- Thermocol is a form of complex material called polystyrene. It is also a pollutant as it is non biodegradable . It a carcinogenic material. ... The gases released due to the burning of thermocol is also harmful for humans and cause pollution.
Effects of glass:
During production of glass, mixture needs to be heated at very high temperature. Which will result in evolution of green house gases like sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon dioxide.
The combustion of natural gas/fuel oil and the decomposition of raw materials during the melting lead to the emission of CO2. This is the only greenhouse gas emitted during the production of glass. And finally leads to the cause of green house effect.
Nitrogen oxides (NO2) due to the high melting temperatures and in some cases due to decomposition of nitrogen compounds contribute to acidification.
Glasses is non-biodegradable because it is photolysis resistant. Glasses donot degrade naturally in the environment. Hence, glasses is burnt to reduce the waste but incinerating glasse is more harmful.
Evaporation from the molten glass and raw materials can cause release of particles in the atmosphere.
Sulphur dioxide (SO2) from the fuel and/or from decomposition of sulphate in the batch materials can contribute to acidification and formation of SMOG.
Glass is a non-degradable, if pieces of broken glass material flow into water body, it may affect the ecosystem.
Sometimes, drainage system may be blocked due to aggregation of broken parts of glasses
