Write two harmful effects of using plastic bags on the environment.

Mention any one harmful effect of using plastic bags on the environment.

Answer 1

1. Plastics remain in soil for many years because they do not degrade. This reduces soil quality and may affect soil fertility.
2. Waterlogging occurs when plastic artefacts get into the drainage and sewerage system and obstruct the pipes and drains.
3. Because plastic waste serves as a breeding ground for insects and mosquitoes, it contributes to unsanitary conditions in public areas.
