In addition, toxic substances are released into the soil when plastic bags perish under sunlight and, if plastic bags are burned, they release a toxic substance into the air causing ambient air pollution.

Marine species ingest or are entangled by plastic debris, which causes severe injuries and death.

The millions of tons of plastic swirling around the world’s oceans have garnered a lot of media attention recently. But plastic pollution arguably poses a bigger threat to the plants and animals – including humans – who are based on land.


Very little of the plastic we discard every day is recycled or incinerated in waste-to-energy facilities. Much of it ends up in landfills, where it may take up to 1,000 years to decompose, leaching potentially toxic substances into the soil and water.


Researchers in Germany are warning that the impact of microplastics in soils, sediments and freshwater could have a long-term negative effect on such ecosystems. They say terrestrial microplastic pollution is much higher than marine microplastic pollution – estimated at four to 23 times higher, depending on the environment.

Plastic contains several chemicals and when ingested, those chemicals can lead to injury or health problems.Thousands of seabirds, seals and other marine species and wildlife are killed every year after ingesting or getting entangled in plastic.When wildlife and marine species ingest plastic, it can cause them to starve to death because they cannot digest plastic. However, their stomach is then full of plastic, which makes them feel full.Toxic chemicals can also affect their health and eventually affect the food chain. For example, a fish consumed microplastics that it mistook for food, the chemicals leached into the fish and now the fish has been caught for consumption by humans or eaten by a predator. Now the chemicals reside in the predator or are consumed by the human.The transfer of contaminants between marine species and humans through the consumption of seafood is known. It has been identified as a health hazard but there remains a lot of uncertainty as to what extent this harms humans and wildlife and marine species.]]> 2022-04-19 08:30:18 UTC https://padlet.com/kichurek/i5d5s0t15e4je3r0/wish/2148249006 Shaik maaz 8I https://padlet.com/kichurek/i5d5s0t15e4je3r0/wish/2148249994 Plastic use is very harmful for our environment.
