How does plastic affect the human health?

The world is advancing technologically, socially, and economically and progressing to become the best version and ideal place to live in but that’s not the major issue, the issue is about whether we are restricting the development of others while developing ours. The development that I want might not be the same for you and hence we need to consider both of our goals and then decide on the development process.

In the name of development we are cutting trees, using single-use plastics, etc., and finally creating a nuisance to the environment and I always wonder how can we say we are trying to develop the world when we are actually destroying it.

Plastics not only affects the environment of our Earth but also affects us ,
Here are some ways on how plastic and single-use-plastics affects our dear health:

• The number of chemicals released by plastics has been associated with serious health problems such as hormone-related cancers, infertility, neurodevelopment disorders like ADHD and autism, and liver diseases.
  
  
• The plastics when they end up in the environment not only affects the environment but also attracts harmful microorganism such as harmful bacteria like pathogens and when these bacteria get into our body, they may increase the risk of infections.
  
  
• Digestive problems:
  When plstics,microplatics or byproducts of platics enters our body it can lead to Diarrhea, vomiting, stomach pain, tiphiid, indigestion, and food poisoning
  
  
• Skin diseases:
  Plastics is known contains polyethylene terephthalate (PET or PETE or polyester). PET is known to leach antimony trioxide and phthalates can which can lead to Skin cancer, irritation in the eyes, skin rashes, and allergies.
  
  
• Breathing problems:
  When plastics is burnt it releases toxic byproducts into the atmosphere and these inhaling these byproducts can lead to respiration problems and also lead to asthma.
  According to researchers at the Columbia Center for Children’s Environmental Health (CCCEH) at the Mailman School of Public Health, Children who were exposed to diethyl phthalate (DEP) and butyl benzyl phthalate (BBzP)—phthalate chemicals that are commonly found in personal care and plastic products have undergone risks of asthma-related airway inflammation.

let’s keep working together throughout the years to develop the world but developing it in a way that we don’t destroy it,(world).

We can’t completely cut down or stop using plastics but we can atleast control the number of plastics that we consume or use in our daily life.
I would end by saying “Reduce plastic usage as it kills the world you live in”
