Open in App
Solution

Plastic is a non-biodegradable material. One of the rarely known hazard of plastics is one of the major concern to the health of the stray animals. You have seen a garbage dump where animals, especially cows, are eating garbage. In the process of eating food from the waste these animals swallow materials like polythene bags and wrappers of food. The plastic material choked the respiratory system of these animals, or formed a lining in their stomachs and can be the cause of their death.
