उत्तर
Introduction:
Plastic is a synthetic material. It does not decompose in the soil. Its presence in the soil spoils the soil and it becomes barren. It has an inevitable role to play in the life of man. It has become a part of man’s day-to-day life.
- Human Health Hazard:
It poses a health hazard. The micro part of plastic enters our food. It becomes like a leech in our food. It produces indigestion problems for aquatic and terrestrial animals. Its presence inside our body blocks the intestines and respiratory passages. - Environmental Degradation:
The manufacturing process and burning of plastics pollute the atmosphere. It is non-biodegradable so it interferes with soil micro-organisms and affects soil fertility. - Conclusion:
We can go for the restricted use of plastic. The plastic companies may be restricted to make one-time-use plastics. All plastic waste should be segregated into different types and used for recycling.
