PLASTICS POLLUTION
WHAT IS PLASTIC ?
 Plastic is the general common term for a wide range of synthetic
or semi synthetic organic solid materials suitable for the
manufacture of industrial products .
 Plastics are typically polymers of high molecular weight , and may
contain other substances to improve performance and / or reduce
costs .
 Plastic is one of the few new chemical materials which pose
environmental problem .
 Polyethylene , polyvinyl chloride , polystyrene largely used in the
manufacture of plastics .
HISTORY OF PLASTIC :
 The first man - made plastic was created by Alexander Parkes who
publicly demonstrated it at the 1862 Great International Exhibition
in London .
 The material called Parkesine was an organic material derived from
cellulose .
 Celluloid is derived from cellulose and alcoholized camphor .
 John Wesley Hyatt invented celluloid in 1868.
 He created celluloid in a strip format for movie film By 1900 , movie
film was an exploding market for celluloid .
CHEMICALS IN PLASTIC :
 The vast majority of plastics are composed polymers of carbon and
hydrogen alone or with oxygen , nitrogen , chlorine or sulfur in the
backbone.Common plastics type are :
 Polypropylene ( PP ) Food containers , appliances , car fenders ( bumpers )
.
 Polystyrene ( PS ) - Packaging foam , food containers disposable cups ,
plates , cutlery , CD boxes
 High impact polystyrene ( HIPS ) - fridge liners , food packaging , vending
cups .
 Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene ( ABS ) - Electronic equipment cases as
computer parts , drainage pipe etc
 Polyethylene terephthalate ( PET ) carbonated drinks bottles jars , plastic
film , microwavable packaging
 Polyester ( PES ) - Fibers , textiles
Types of PLASTIC PRODUCTS :
 PLASTIC BAGS
 PLASTIC COATINGS
 PLASTIC FURNITURE
 PLASTIC SHEETS
 PLASTIC FITTINGS
 PLASTIC TANKS
 PLASTIC TOYS
 PLASTIC BUCKETS
 PLASTIC SANITARYWARE
 PLASTIC STATIONERY
PLASTICS ADVERS EFFECTS ON OUR
ENVIRONMESNT
 Garbage has been discarded into the oceans for as long as
humans have sailed the seven seas or lived on seashores
or near waterways flowing into the sea . Since the 1940s ,
plastic use has increased dramatically , resulting in a huge
quantity of nearly indestructible , lightweight material
floating in the oceans and
eventually deposited on
beaches worldwide
PLASTIC WHEN BURN IN AIR :
 When plastic burned in air it releases a
host of poisonous chemicals into the air
, including dioxin , the most toxic
substance known to science .
 1. Dioxins are found throughout the
world in the environment and they
accumulate in the food chain , mainly in
the fatty tissue of animals .
 2. Dioxins are highly toxic and can
cause reproductive and developmental
problems , damage the immune system ,
interfere with hormones and also cause
cancer
Plastic poison - Styrofoam :
 Styrofoam is one of the most environmental toxins found in plastic .
 Polystyrene , is manufactured using benzene , from coal styrene , from
petroleum ; and ethylene , " blowing agent used in the process since
the crackdown on CFCs .
 • Extracting these raw materials generates air and water pollution , it
can lead to lung cancer and neurological problems in factory workers .
 • Like all plastics , polystyrene is non - biodegradable . Even after a
take - out container has dissolved 500 years from now , its chemical
components will still clog the eco - system .
 • Research on whether polystyrene chemicals " migrate " from
container to food is hotly debated , but it's a fact that styrene has been
present in our fatty tissue and breast milk for the past 30 years .
Plastic carry bag : A major
source of pollution
 • Plastic has replaced the traditional material ( paper / cloth etc ) as packing
and carry bags because of its low cost of production , light weight , strength ,
process easy manufacture , and availability .
 • There are numerous hazards of plastic carry bags . The land gets littered by
plastic bag garbage presenting an ugly and unhygienic seen
 • The " Throw away culture results in these bags finding their way in to the
city drainage system the resulting blockage , creates unhygienic environment
resulting in health hazard and spreading of water borne diseases .
 • This littering also reduces rate of rain water percolating , resulting in
lowering of already low water levels in our cities .
 • The soil fertility deteriorates as the plastic bags form part of manure
remains in the soil for years
PLASTIC BAGS KILL ANIMALS :
 About 100,000 animals such as dolphins , turtles whales ,
penguins are killed every year due to plastic bags . Many
animals ingest plastic bags , mistaking them for food , and
therefore die . And worse , the ingested plastic bag remains
intact even after the death and decomposition of the animal .
Thus , it lies around in the landscape where another victim may
ingest it .
PLASTIC'S EFFECT ON HUMAN LIFE :
 Plastic plays the villain right from the stage of its
production .
 The major chemicals that go into the making of
plastic are highly toxic and pose serious threat to
living beings of all species on earth .
 Some of the constituents of plastic such as benzene
are known to cause cancer .
 Plastic resins themselves are flammable and have
contributed considerably to several accidents
worldwide .
PLASTIC'S EFFECT ON HUMAN LIFE :
 Once plastic is produced , the harm is done once and for all . Plastic any kind
of attempt at disposal - be it through recycling , burning , or landfilling .
 When you recycle a hazard , you create a hazard . Recycling of plastic is
associated with skin and respiratory problems , resulting from exposure to and
inhalation of toxic fumes , especially hydrocarbons and residues released
during the process
RECYCLING OF PLASTIC :
 The biggest problem with plastic recycling is that it is difficult to automate the
sorting of plastic waste , and so it is labor intensive .
 Typically , workers plastic looking at the résin identification code , though
common containers like soda bottles can be sorted from memory .
 Only 3.5 percent of all plastics are recycled in any way . . It is estimated that
between 500 billion and a trillion plastic bags are consumed worldwide each
year .
 Less than 1 percent of these are recycled as it costs more to recycle a bag than
to produce new one .
RECYCLING OF PLASTIC :
 Recycling of plastic is associated with skin and respiratory problems , resulting from
exposure to and inhalation of toxic fumes especially hydrocarbons and residues
released during the process .
 What is worse , the recycled plastic degrades in quality and necessitates the
production of more new plastic to make the original product . Recycling of plastic is
very uneconomical dirty and labour - intensivé as has been revealed by a study
conducted by the Public Interest Research Group , based in Delhi , India .
SOLUTIONS TO CONTROL PLASTIC
POLLUTION :
 Awareness campaigns- Stop using plastic bags . Educate people about the plastic
pollution and its effects on our environment .
 • Road show in regards " No to plastic bags " , and display of banners on the
walls of slums , colonies and societies areas . • Hands with the Municipal
Corporation to take the corrective measures , to do timely inspections .
 • Support NSS , NGOs , Volunteer agencies and others to organize " Safai
Abhiyan " in all Society slums , colonies and rural areas . Social responsibility ,
commitment and ownership by every individual may control the problem .
