Answer 1

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Plastic waste upon breaking down releases toxic chemicals, which can then seep into groundwater or other surrounding water sources, and eventually the ecosystem. This can have harmful effects on the species that drink the water, which is why plastic waste should not be dumped in soil.
