Answer:

According to a 2009 report in "Philosophical Transactions of The Royal Society B," a British science journal, plastics can cause a wide variety of adverse effects to people and the environment. Chemicals in plastics are absorbed by human bodies, and some of these compounds can change the structure of hormones. Plastic debris waste is often ingested by seafaring creatures, and the chemicals therein can poison all manner of wildlife. Floating plastic waste can survive for dozens of centuries and disrupt habitats by shuttling microbes to and fro. Perhaps most ominously, plastics buried in landfills can leach harmful chemicals into groundwater and therefore into the water supply, and the BPA in polycarbonate bottles can contaminate beverages.
