By "synthetic materials polymers" you mean plastic right?

well it causes visual pollution when dumped,
Causes air pollution if burnt,
and if left lying around may find its way into our water ways, (eg plastic bags) killing marine life.

Plastics degrade very slowly,
when burnt some plastics give off toxic fumes,
