1 Plastic and its
effects on our
society
Why the topic is important??
Why Plastic is bad for us?
Plastics have been with us for more than a century, and by now theyre
everywhere, for good and for ill. Plastic containers and coatings help keep
food fresh, but they can also leave behind neurotoxins such as BPA in the
human body. Environmental exposure to plastic-related chemical compounds
does not occur in isolation but as a cocktail effect, with unknown cumulative
impacts. Because plastics are found throughout the globe, there are
effectively no populations that havent been exposed to them. This situation
implies that in todays plastics-enabled society, there are no control groups
to be found to analyze the effects on human health from low-level,
environmental exposures to plastic constituents. Everybody is being exposed
to some degree at any given time from gestation through death.
We have some solutions to address the issue and we need to develop more.
Stricter regulations and rules will help in controlling the situation.
