Plastic has become a major problem for the planet today. Knowingly or unknowingly, we consume a credit card's worth of plastic every day, which is extremely dangerous for us.

Plastic side effects: Plastic has become a major problem for the planet today. If we take a look around us, we'll find plastic everywhere, whether it's our water bottles or lunch boxes. This plastic isn't recyclable, and even reusing it over time can be fatal.

This is the plastic that we can see with our eyes, but how many such nano particles of plastic are present in the air around us, which are pushing us towards death every second? Yes, according to a report by WWF i.e. World Wide Fund for Nature, a person eats approximately 5 grams of plastic every week. You, too are shocked, aren't you? Within a week, knowingly or unknowingly, we eat plastic equivalent to the plastic present in a credit card. Sometimes by drinking bottled water and sometimes by breathing polluted air. 

How plastic accumulates in the body:

According to a report, 20 grams of plastic accumulates in our bodies every month, and 250 grams in a year. As time and technology advance, this amount also increases day by day. Furthermore, by the age of 60 or 70, this plastic accumulates to several kilograms, equivalent to two large dustbins. This not only harms our health but also increases the risk of dangerous diseases like cancer.

Just imagine the harm caused by plastic accumulation in our bodies.

If plastic doesn't degrade in the environment, how will it degrade in our bodies? From this, you can imagine the extent of harm this plastic, made from dangerous chemicals and particles, can cause. Furthermore, plastic also contains lead and arsenic, which are highly toxic and can kill us within a short time. 

You may not know that consuming plastic 

can lead to serious illnesses, including leukemia, lymphoma, brain cancer, breast cancer, fertility loss, lung damage, and even brain damage. These illnesses can lead to complete deterioration or even death.
