Adverse Health Effects of Plastics
In addition to creating safety problems during production, many chemical additives that give plastic products desirable performance properties also have negative environmental and human health effects.
Direct toxicity, as in the cases of lead, cadmium, and mercury
Carcinogens, as in the case of diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP)
Endocrine disruption, which can lead to cancers, birth defects, immune system supression and developmental problems in children

In response to public concern about the effects of plastics on the environment and in particular the damaging effects of sea litter on animals and birds, legislation is being enacted or is pending in many countries to ban non-degradable packing, finishing nets etc. Waste plastics suffocate soil; clog drainage and lead to a whole lot of ecological problems-they have debilitating effect on ecology. Environmentally acceptable degradable polymers have been defined as polymers that degrade in the environment by several mechanisms and culminate in complete biodegradation so that no residue remains in the environment.

Answer 2

I found very little on this. But, here it is, you may want to reword if you use this. : Plastic is poisoning our world seas.Many plastic items end up in the oceans,seas etc. They are eaten by some of the water creatures and passed along the human food line.Sturdy and durable plastics does not bio-degrade, it only breaks down to tiny particles.Plastic does not only end up in our waters, plastic is found along our highways. Insects live in them. Such as mosquitos, if bitten by the insects, you have a health problem.
