पर्यावरण में घुले प्लास्टिक के सूक्ष्म कण खतरनाक
प्लास्टिक प्रदूषण की समस्या पूरे विश्व के लिए एक बड़ी पर्यावरणीय चिंता बनकर उभर रही है। पर्यावरण में घुले प्लास्टिक के सूक्ष्म कण मनुष्य के शरीर के भीतर पहुंचकर उन्हें नुकसान पहुंचा रहे हैं। दुनिया भर में हर साल 400 मिलियन (लगभग 4 करोड़) टन से अधिक प्लास्टिक का उत्पादन होता है। सौंदर्य प्रसाधन, खाद्य पैकेजिंग, बर्तन आदि जैसे उद्योगों के जरिए भी प्लास्टिक हमारे शरीर में पहुंच कर नुकसान पहुंचा रहे हैं।
