Question

Plastic is used for making a large variety of articles of daily use and these articles are very attractive. But it is advised to avoid the use of plastic as far as possible. Why?

Answer 1

Plastic, a nonbiodegradable material:

1. The majority of plastics are not biodegadable, mostly because they are so often utilized due to their affordability, adaptability, and durability.
2. Plastic is a rare target for germs, making it non-biodegradable, which contributes to its endurance. Because of this, it is recommended to limit the use of plastic as much as possible.
3. Human bodies absorb the chemicals that are introduced to plastics. Some of these substances have been shown to change hormones or have other possible negative impacts on human health.
4. Chemicals from plastic are repeatedly exposed to by people every day through the air, dust, water, food, and use of consumer goods.
5. Consuming food from plastic containers could result in cancer. Plastic production, including recycling, results in harmful fumes and residues that pollute the air, land, and water.
