Plastic Pollution: Whereas modern scientific inventions have played a vital
role in making human life easier, the disadvantages of some inventions appear
to override their utility.
Plastic
The top of these items is plastic, which is the most
dangerous element in the environment. Unlike other materials, plastic waste
requires 1 to 2 thousand years to dissolve, so plastic waste lasts for a long
time and causes environmental pollution and drainage problems as well as fatal
diseases like cancer. In developed countries not only plastic products are
discouraged, but in most countries their use has been completely banned.
According to the research - Plastic Pollution
Per capita annual consumption of plastic in NAFTA countries
i.e. US, Canada and Mexico is 139 kg, 136 kg in Western Europe, 108 kg in
Japan, 48 kg in Central Europe, 16 kg in Africa and per capita in Pakistan
about 5kg of plastic is used annually. Because 65% of the garbage is plastic,
which includes shopping bags, plastic bottles and other items. According to
statistics, there are more than 8,000 registered factories for shopping bags or
plastic bags in Pakistan and their total daily production is 500kg. According
to official sources, 55 billion shopping bags are used daily and their use is
increasing by 15% every year. In addition to these figures, hundreds of
factories that make up shopping bags are located in the streets, which are not
registered. All kinds of shopping bags are environmentally destructive.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency report, in
1960, plastic was less than 1 percent but in 2012 it was 12 percent higher.
Climate change in Pakistan - Disasters began 22 years ago in 1997, the worst
seven-year drought in Balochistan. The drought spread to some Central Asian
states from Afghanistan, Iran, Balochistan, Thar and Indian territory to
Rajasthan. ۔ Plastic bags
were one of the main reasons for this, among other things, in 2002-03 after the
killing of millions of livestock.
Urban & Rural Population
In terms of environment, the urban population is getting
more and more affected worldwide because now the proportion of urban population
in the world is higher than that of rural population. As of 2015, the
proportion of the total population of the world was 54% and the rural
population was 46%. In 2015, the total population of the world was more than 7
billion 34 crore and the urban population was more than 3 billion 96 crore. In
1980, the total population of the world was 4 billion 43 million 90 million and
out of this the population was 1 billion 73 million 10 million. The proportion
of urban population in Asia is still 48%, compared to that in North America.
82% of Latin America has 80% in Europe 74% in Australia 71% in North Africa 52%
of the population in Western developed countries is higher but this population
is more populated than our cities as a whole. No city.
United States has the highest number of consumers of plastic
The United States has the highest number of consumers of plastic
water bottles, spending about a trillion dollars a year on water bottles. 70 to
80 percent of those bottles cause groundwater pollution and human illness. New
York According to the University report, the United States has to spend $ 340
trillion annually on health due to this pollution.
Thomas
Research-Plastic Pollution
Richard Thomson explored the plastic components of the
University of Plymouth in 2004. After that, Thomson predicted 300000 / km2 at
sea level and 100000 / km2 plastic at sea level. Due to the large amount of
plastic in the ocean. The plasticization process also slows down the process.
According to marine hygiene forecasts, plastic foam cups need fifty years to
dissolve, disposable diapers four hundred and fifty years, while tools used for
fishing require six hundred years to dissolve.
Plastic Pollution has adverse effect on Sea Creatures
Plastic is not only damaging the plains but also pollutes
the seas, rivers, rivers, and blocks the sewage system, which not only leaves
the toxic material in the ocean. Which is harmful to aquatic life, including
fish and other organisms. Scientists say that plastic disappears from the soil
after a thousand years, but in those 1000 years, the constant amount of toxic
material from the plastic is added to water and land, destroying aquatic life
and soil fertility. As far as pollution is concerned, the main cause of this
pollution is the use of smoke, oil, petrol, diesel and mineral coal. As far as
smoke is concerned, the smoke generated by the burning of garbage and plastic
is more dangerous, so living in cities and breathing has become difficult for
this.
China and India, which is first and second in terms of
population in the world, in 2014, the total urban population in China was 758
million, or 75 million 80 million, which will be 1 billion 5 million by 2050.
In 2014, India's urban population is 41 million, which will be 81 million 40
million in 3250 years, and if our urban population is recognized 8 million,
then the population will be 16 million in 2050 after 32 years.
Lowest air Polluted Countries
The report also lists the top countries in the world where
air pollution is ideally low.
- The PM-2.5 in Australia at No. 1 is only 5.7.
- Brunei 6.6,
- The PM-2.5 level in New Zealand is 6.8,
- Estonia 7.2,
- Finland 7.3,
- Canada 7.5,
- Island 8.2,
- Sweden 8.7,
- Ireland 8.8,
- Liberia 9.3,
- Japan 10,
- Bhutan 10
- Norway 10.9,
- Malta 12 Number
- Portugal 12.3,
- Spain 12.4,
- United States 12.9,
Although some of these countries may not be called developed
countries, the level of air pollution here is very low and it is very suitable
for the health of the world.
Most Polluted Cities
The list of densely populated cities is comprised of 99
cities, but there are 42 cities in the world with populations ranging from 303
million to one million. Of these cities, 15 cities in China have four cities in
India and Pakistan and Japan.
In addition, experts say that in Antarctica, the frozen
South where there are no humans and no odor, plastic chemicals are found within
20 feet of the ice, causing the species of fowl to be released by plastic. Are
affected. Plastics contain chemicals that cause damage to our egg crane system,
the hormone-producing system. Chemicals derived from plastic cause obesity and
infertility in humans. Plastic destroys thousands of species of animals every
year. There are 40 to 50,000 pieces of plastic floating in a square mile of
sea. The chemical bus phenol (Biphenyl) in plastic is extremely dangerous.
Adverse Effect of Toxic Chemicals
Environmentalists are striving that the common people will
be aware of the adverse effects of the toxic chemicals used in the making of
plastic bags and other things.
The hormones that are damaged by plastics include the human
body's growth and growth hormones, the metabolism of the chemicals that regulates
and regulates human body activity. These hormones are also damaged by plastic.
In addition, digestive disorders, respiratory and
respiratory diseases, hormones in the circulatory system are also affected by
plastics. , Allergic diseases arise.
Suggestions-Plastic Pollution
Now the requirement is that we should use steel,
earthenware, glass, porcelain instead of plastic bags and plastic utensils, and
instead of shopping bags we need clothes, cloth bags and (biodegradable)
self-finished items. We need to eliminate plastic shopping bags and their
industries and provide them alternative employment systems. Manufacturers of
shopping bags, utensils and plastics in the country use excessively bad
plastics, which is a much needed fix. We have to come back to nature once
again, because without nature all things are harmful to us. We can avoid many
diseases and disadvantages and have a longer healthy life by using natural and
natural products -
Conclusion-Plastic Population
Plastics may not be removed from life for a moment, but it
can be improved, as other countries around the world have done. It can be
estimated that in the next 31 years, by 2050, citizens in this world What will
be the situation of the population and what will be the result of the pollution
situation and how should we propose these risks now?
Now raise you sound against Plastic usage and save future of our next generation.....
