Plastic is widely used in our lives, so do you know what impact it has on nature?
Soil pollution: plastic products are difficult to degrade in the soil, and their long-term existence will damage the soil ecosystem, affecting the absorption of water and nutrients by crops and leading to crop yield reduction. A large amount of landfill plastic waste will also pollute groundwater, because plastic film is small in density and large in volume, the landfill will be filled up quickly, and the processing capacity will be reduced, while bacteria, viruses and other harmful substances in the garbage will easily seep into the ground and pollute groundwater.
Water pollution: Plastic waste enters rivers, lakes and oceans, causing water pollution. Animals accidentally eating plastic garbage can lead to health problems and even death. Plastic waste also floats in the water, affecting the landscape and aquatic life.
Air Pollution: Plastic waste disperses in the wind, creating “white pollution” and affecting air quality.
Visual Pollution: Plastic waste scattered in the environment damages the cityscape and landscape, affecting the overall aesthetics.
Biohazard: Plastic garbage can lead to blockage of the digestive system and even death after being eaten by animals. Marine organisms such as whales and sea turtles die from accidental ingestion of plastic from time to time. In addition, microplastic particles can enter the human body through the food chain and affect human health.
Fire Hazard: Plastic waste generates combustible gas in the process of stacking, which can easily cause fire accidents.
Land occupation: Plastic waste is difficult to degrade and occupies land resources for a long time, affecting the normal use of land.
