GLOBAL ISSUES OF PLASTICS ON ENVIORNMENT AND PUBLIC HEALTH
Abstract
Plastic manufacturing industries are voluminously increasing year by year all over the world. Growing human population and the urge for urbanization are elucidated as the pillar reasons for the high demand of plastics and plastic based materials. Plastic pollution can be considered as the most aggressive environmental issue the society is facing at present. Plastics are also dumped to the river mouth proximities and thus it reaches the marine and aquatic creatures too. This paper summarizes the current scenario of plastic production and its pollutions, types of plastics, toxicity and its environmental impacts of both the human beings and surrounding ecosystem. It also opens a brief view to the single use applications of these plastics in medical and health industry.
