Question

What are the harmful effects of plastic bags

Answer 1

Ummm. Plastic bags are non biodegradable. They cause a lot of pollution by heating or burning it. Ex specially it causes, skin cancers, asthma, lung cancer, breathing problems while burning it. We cause problem for animals who live under soil. We cause problems for the farmers. Plz don't use plastic.

Answer 2

While there is a common general understanding that plastics have negative ecological associations, a closer understanding of what types of plastics create what types of impacts will empower us to improve the toxic footprint of our buildings.

Plastics are not inherently bad, and they have many redeeming ecological features; in fact, many of the techniques we utilize in our designs involve targeted use of plastic products. Their durability and low maintenance reduce material replacement, their light weight reduces shipping energy, their formulation into glue products allows for the creation of engineered lumber and sheet products from recycled wood, and their formulation into superior insulation and sealant products improves the energy performance of our structures. Toxic chemical release during manufacture is another significant source of the negative environmental impact of plastics. A whole host of carcinogenic, neurotoxic, and hormone-disruptive chemicals are standard ingredients and waste products of plastic production, and they inevitably find their way into our ecology through water, land, and air pollution
