Answer:

BECAUSE ,Firstly, plastics reach the surface of soil or penetrate soil directly, e.g. as a result of littering, the decomposition of plastic films from agriculture or the construction industry or the application of compost or digestate contaminated with plastics on agricultural land

Explanation:

Plastic pollution on land poses a threat to the plants and animals – including humans who are based on the land. ... 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.
