“Let’s Nurture the Nature so that we can have a better future”
The mass of plastic detritus present in the oceans is so enormous that it is called the “7th continent”. At this rate, there will be more plastic than fish in the oceans by 2050. This plastic debris represents a chemical pollution in several ways. The most direct effect of plastic pollution is the imprisonment of animals in nets or large debris. Because of the chemical additives used during plastic production, plastics have potentially harmful effects on human health.
