Issues By Plastic

• Plastic is one of the most used material these
  days. It is being used in almost every industry.
  But along with its advantages, there are lot of
  disadvantages of plastic too. Lets take a look
  at the positive and negative effects of plastic

Positive Negative Effects Of Plastic

Increasing Usage Of Plastic

• In our daily life, plastic made a
  considerable impact and we are heavily dependent
  on plastic. Starting from daily usage utensils to
  decorative items all are coming in plastic.
• The usage of plastic is increasing day by day
  and researchers are also trying to develop more
  durable, less weight, strong plastic to meet
  todays needs.

5

• The usage of plastic is increasing exponentially
  from the last century.
• Records showed that the amount of plastic made in
  the first 10 years of 21stcentury is equal to the
  amount of plastic made in the whole 20thcentury.
  Generally, Plastic is of two types i.e. high
  quality plastic and low quality plastic.
• High quality plastic is very strong and is
  generally used for making products like cabins,
  mobile and laptop cases etc. Low quality plastic
  is generally weak and is used for making
  utensils, vessels etc.

Positive Impact Of Plastic

• There are several advantages with plastic which
  cant be compared with others. Plastic is highly
  durable material and it lasts longer.
• Another positive thing about plastic is its ease
  in converting to required shape. The weight of
  the plastic is very less and it is almost as
  strong as metals.

7

• You can convert plastic into the shape you
  required and they look equally beautiful like
  glass or other expensive materials.
• Unlike glass which has to be handled carefully,
  you can roughly use plastic materials. One more
  advantage of plastic is it is recyclable.
• The wear and tear of plastic parts is very less
  when compared to other materials available

8
Negative Impact Of Plastic

• There are some negative things about plastic
  which has to be considered equally like
  advantages. Plastic items cant tolerate high
  temperatures and releases harmful gases (at high
  temp.) which cause pollution.
• Plastic is not easily disposable and it will take
  thousands of years to completely dispose in soil.

9

• This result in other harmful things like blockage
  of water (resulting floods), death of animals,
  birds because of eating plastic etc.
• which are serious concerns of several
  environmental activists.
• Even the process of making plastic by industries
  releases heavy amounts of carbon dioxide.

10

• A tax on plastic bags in Wales has seen the
  number given away by shops fall by up to 96 per
  cent.
• The news will heap pressure on David Cameron to
  make good his promise to tackle the blight of
  plastic bags and introduce a levy in England.
• As well as cutting bag use, the Welsh scheme has
  raised hundreds of thousands of pounds for
  charities.

11

• Plastic Poison
• Single-use bags are a blight on the
  environment and harm wildlife such as this
  Herring Gull in Portland Dorset struggling to
  free itself from a white plastic carrier bag

Disease Outbreaks Caused by Chemicals

• There are many examples of disease outbreaks that
  are caused by exposure to chemicals or toxins.
• Tri-ortho-cresyl phosphate is a contaminant of
  medicines, food and drink. It is a neurotoxin
  that has caused a number of outbreaks of
  neurological illness including the so-called
  Jamaican ginger paralysis.

13

• In 2001, a series of unexpected deaths in
  dialysis patients in six countries was eventually
  shown to be caused by the contamination of the
  dialysis machine filters with perfluoroisobutylene
  .
• Investigating the cause of a disease outbreak
  requires careful epidemiological and
  toxicological investigation.

14

• Every year, government officials are made aware
  of hundreds if not thousands of chemicals that
  are hazardous enough to cause health problems as
  serious as cancer and neurological defects, yet
  the knowledge is never translated to any kind of
  action to enforce bans."The United States
  government can no longer protect public health
  and people should be aware of it," said Charles
  Brenneman a regulatory official and long-time
  critic of the EPA. He claims that lawmakers need
  to assign a new agency with true power to
  identify and ban risky chemicals.
