Chlorinated plastic can release harmful chemicals into the surrounding soil, which can then seep into groundwater or other surrounding water sources and also the ecosystem of the world. This can cause serious harm to the species that drink the water. Landfill areas contain many different types of plastics.Many animals might eat that plastic and be harmed.

Plastic may harm all elements of the food chain eventually harming humans too as we might consume some  of the damaged species or their products like milk etc.

Answer:

In addition to the waste created by plastic, the production of plastic is harmful to the environment. Plastic is made from petroleum and the refining process of petroleum puts a lot of toxins into the earth's atmosphere.
