    The document discusses the major issues related to the environment including population growth, water pollution, air pollution, solid waste pollution, and more. It then focuses on plastic pollution, describing the sources of plastic waste like packaging and plastic bags. The effects of plastic pollution are explained, including how plastic in oceans releases toxic chemicals that poison wildlife and enter the human food supply, and how plastic is mistaken as food by birds and marine animals, harming their health. Solutions to plastic pollution provided include reducing single-use plastics, recycling, awareness campaigns, and improved waste management.

    &
    Solutions
    Major issues related to
    Environment:
    Population growth and environmental quality.
    Water pollution.
    Air pollution.
    Solid waste pollution.
    Noise pollution.
    Land or soil pollution.
    Greenhouse gas emissions.
    Forest and Agricultural land Degradation
    Resource Depletion
    Loss of Biodiversity
    Natural Hazards
    Poor Agricultural Practices
    Global Warming
    Acid Rain
    Waste Disposal
    Waste Disposal: Plastic Disposal
    Introduction: (Plastics)
    A plastic material is any of a wide range of synthetic
    or semi-synthetic organic solids that are moldable.
    Plastic is a polymer containing many monomers unit.
    It is non-degradable and cheap .
    Two industrially important polymeric materials are:
     Elastomers
    • PLASTIC POLLUTION is the accumulation of plastic
    objects in the earths environment that adversely
    effects wildlife, wildlife habitat and humans. Plastics
    that act as pollutants are categorized into:
     Micro Plastics
     Meso Plastics
     Macro Plastics
    Sources of Plastic
    wastes:
    PLASTIC POLLUTION:
    Effects of Plastic on Land:
    Chlorinated Plastic can release
    harmful chemicals into the
    surrounding soils , which can then
    seep into ground water or other
    surrounding water sources and also
    the ecosystem of the world.
    Effects of Plastic on Ocean:
    One type of plastic that is of concern in
    terms of ocean plastic pollution is
    ‘NURDLES’.
    Nurdles are manufactured plastic pallets
    ( type of micro plastic) used in the
    creation of plastic products and are
    often shipped via a cargo ship and
    during their shipment many billions of
    Nurdles are spilled into oceans every
    year.
    Toxic chemicals such as BISPHENON A
    and POLYSTYRENE can leach into water
    Effects of Plastics on
    Animals:
    Plastic pollution has the potential to
    poison animals, which can adversely effect
    human food supplies . Some marine
    species, such as turtles, have been found
    to contain large proportion of plastics in
    their stomach. Due to this the animal
    typically starves, because the plastic
    blocks the animal’s digestive tract.
    Sometimes Marine mammals are
    entangled into the plastic products such
    as nets, which can harm or kill them.
    Some of them are consumers of jelly
    fish, but often mistake plastic bags
    for their natural prey.
    Effects of plastic on Birds :
    Toxic chemicals called Polychlorinated
    biphenyls also become concentrated on
    the surface of plastics at sea and are
    released after seabirds eat them.
    Effects on Humans:
    Plastic is carcinogenic to humans.
    Promote endocrine disruption.
    Biomonitoring chemicals in plastics such
    as BPA and phthalates physically affects
    the Humans.
    Solutions of Plastics pollution:
    Say no to single-use plastics.
    Switch to reusable shopping bags.
    A tote bag is a good substitute to plastic.
    Proper recycling.
    Awareness campaigns should be conducted.
    Social responsibilities, commitment and
    ownership by every individual.
    Support NSS and NGO’S.
    Stop leakage of plastics into ocean.
    Develop solid waste systems.
    Land filling.
    Plastic waste management strategies .
