Plastic harms humans, An alarming Article, It is predicted that the world will face disaster by 2050 due to marine pollution. The Article sounds the alarm that plastic micro-particles are wreaking havoc on humans.

The nuclear weapon is the most destructive man-made invention, followed by plastic.

Environmentalists are sounding the alarm that plastic particles are mixed in the air we breathe, the food we drink, and the water we drink. 

News of plastic being found in the stomach of a dead cow could be in the stomach and respiratory tract of humans by tomorrow. It is predicted that by 2050, 99% of marine life will consume micro plastics. There is no danger to the person who eats them.?. Marine plastic pollution is an ongoing problem worldwide.

As the amount of micro plastics in the ocean increases, they enter the food chain through the marine organisms that feed on it and are ultimately consumed by humans. 

Already, researchers in the Netherlands have found micro plastics in the blood of 17 people when they tested the blood of 22 people.

Impacts of Plastics on Human Health

It has been proven that plastic products are harmful to nature and animals. At this point, the disaster will hit us by 2050, according to the latest report. Plastic pollution in the world's oceans has reached unprecedented levels in the past 15 years, a new study has found.

An estimated 170 trillion pieces of plastic, mainly microplastics, have been dumped on the surface of the world's oceans since 2005, according to a study published Wednesday.

"Plastic pollution in the world's oceans has reached unprecedented levels over the past 15 years," according to a study published in the international journal PLOS One. 

The amount was higher than previous estimates, and if left unchecked, the rate of plastic entering the ocean could increase many times over the coming decades, the study found.

Researchers took plastic samples from more than 11,000 stations around the world, covering a 40-year period between 1979 and 2019. 

"We have seen an increase in plastic pollution in the ocean since 2005 because of a rapid increase in production and a limited number of policies to control the release of plastic into the ocean," the researchers said.

Does Plastic Harm the Environment?

On current trends, by 2050 plastic use in G20 countries will nearly double from 2019, reaching 451 million tons each year, according to a report jointly prepared by Economist Impact and The Nippon Foundation. It is noteworthy that India is also among the G20 countries.

Even in developed countries with recycling and advanced waste management systems, the pollution problem has not been solved. 

Because a small percentage of plastics are properly recycled, they often end up in landfills instead. Plastic micro-particles are causing disaster for humans and nature. Therefore, environmentalists are demanding stricter ecological rules to avoid disaster.
