Question

plastics are hazard to environment. Explain this statement
​

Answer 1

Some of the plastic bags which contain leftover food or which get mixed up with other garbage are eaten by animals resulting in harmful effects. Because of the non-biodegradable and impervious nature of plastics, if disposed in the soil, they could arrest the recharging of ground water aquifers.

Answer 2

Answer:

• Since plastic is not biodegradable and poses risks to soil, it can pollute land, waterways, and oceans.
• Numerous marine and terrestrial organisms have perished as a result of plastic pollution.
• Additionally, it releases poisonous gases when heated or exposed. It obstructs drainage systems, fills up empty space, and leads to erosion and flooding, which deteriorates Nigerian roadways.
• Additionally dangerous to human health are plastic wastes that may contain deadly acids. Nigeria, the largest oil exporter in Africa, depends heavily on oil trade profits for both its GDP and her strategy for expanding her economy.
• However, the globe is moving toward energy and sustainable growth as a result of the decline in oil costs and rise in plastic waste. Therefore, in Nigeria, there is a critical need for recycling plastic wastes into a means of income development.
