Plastic pollution and its consequences. The world's population lives, works and vacations along coasts. They are contributing to an unprecedented tide of plastic waste. Pollution is defined as the process that modifies a substance or molecule on planet Earth. Pollution is caused by the physical contact of a decaying organic particle with a clean particle in the same place, at the moment when the two particles come together, this is where pollution occurs. in which the environment is strongly modified. Too widespread, plastic is a modern-day miracle, versatile, inexpensive and durable (Rochman 2014). For others, it is a scourge, a non-degradable pollutant that threatens to suffocate the global environment. Plastic pollution has led to the death of many animals, natural resources and people (Rochman 2014). It's time to change America's way of thinking and learn from the mistakes of the past. Plastic pollution is negatively affecting America's future. The origin of this environmental pollution is caused by the excessive lack of ethics of human beings. Very often, people throw their garbage in the streets, in the seas, etc. Without knowing that this will seriously change the environment and conditions of planet Earth. Environmental pollution is found in many places such as plastic products, cleaning products, food, animals, personal care products and most dangerous in the environment where the oxygen we breathe and share with other living beings (Eriksen 2013). Environmental pollution produces bacteria which results in diseases and disorders in humans, animals and agricultural plantations. The process of pollution occurs when toxins are released into groundwater from landfills. This pollution remains in the environment for hundreds of years, while they decompose... middle of paper... plastic waste processing. in useful products are affected by pollution; this contamination is found in the containers where the plastics are collected. But the same risk of pollution leads to negative consequences in which workers and people responsible for cleaning and disinfecting plastic materials do not do their best to eliminate plastic waste and to disinfect infected bacteria and microorganisms from the plastic. atmosphere and environment. The organizations in China and India are the largest in the world; they collect and purchase used plastic in the United States, Europe, Asia and Latin America (Minguez 2013). These companies do not bother to disinfect the products before the recycling process; due to this, the planet Earth is in a worse environmental condition and is destroying the life of living beings as well as natural resources (Uddin 2014).
