EXPLANATION:
Polythene bags have harmful effects to the environment. *Polythene bags are one kind of plastics which are non-biodegradable and cause environmental pollution. *They undergo a process known as photo degradation, in which they break down into smaller and smaller toxic particles.
They are bad for wildlife. Plastic bags can choke or poison fish, animals and birds, with marine wildlife particularly vulnerable. As a study cited by the Government explains, “when seabirds, sea mammals or fish ingest plastic particles, blocking of the gut is likely to harm or even kill the organism”.
Due to the use of chemical additives during plastic production,plastics have potentially harmful effects that could prove to be carcinogenic or promote endocrine disruption.. Through biomonitoring, chemicals in plastics, such as BPA and phthalates, have been identified in the human population.
