The harm of garbage plastic bags to human beings

The recycling value of plastic bags is low. In addition to causing "visual pollution" in urban streets, tourist areas, water bodies, roads and railways, plastic bags also have potential hazards in the process of use. Plastic structure is stable, not easy to be degraded by natural microorganisms, not separated in the natural environment for a long time. This means that if plastic waste is not recycled, it will become pollutants in the environment and continue to accumulate, which will cause great harm to the environment.

First, it affects agricultural development. Waste plastic products mixed in the soil accumulation, will affect the absorption of nutrients and water crops, resulting in crop production.

Second, it poses a threat to the survival of animals. Discarded on land or water waste plastic products are swallowed by animals as food, resulting in animal death. Sheep like to eat the oily residue in the plastic bag, but often eat the plastic bag with it. Because the plastic stays in the stomach for a long time, the sheep can't eat any more, and they die of starvation. Such things are common in zoos, pastoral areas, rural areas and the sea.

Third, waste plastics with landfill will not only occupy a large amount of land, and occupied land can not be restored for a long time, affecting the sustainable use of land. Waste plastic products that go into domestic waste will not degrade for 200 years if they are buried in landfills. What's more, plastic bags, which are made of petroleum, not only consume a lot of resources, but also cannot be decomposed and buried underground will pollute the land and rivers. In addition, plastic bags themselves can give off harmful gases. Cooked food, in particular, often goes bad after being packed in plastic bags. Spoiled food has a particularly prominent impact on the healthy development of children.

Plastic bags use a lot of energy. According to calculation, every 1 ton plastic bag produced in our country needs to consume 3 tons of oil, and the dosage of plastic bag in our country can supply for at least 3 million ordinary cars to run for 5 years. To change this situation and eliminate ultra-thin plastic bags is the trend of The Times, benefiting the country and the people, and contributing to thousands of generations!

The harm of plastic bags to human health

Medical experts point out that food, especially cooked food, after using plastic bags, often easily spoiled, people eat this kind of spoiled food, easy to cause vomiting, diarrhea and other food poisoning symptoms. In addition, the plastic itself will release harmful gases, because of long-term accumulation in the sealed bag, the concentration increases with the sealing time, resulting in different degrees of contamination of the food in the bag, the health and development of children is particularly prominent.

Dark plastic bags, which are often used in stalls, are a great hazard. It is recycled waste plastic products reprocessed, great harm to the human body, can not be used to hold direct entry food; In addition, do not use polyvinyl chloride plastic products to store alcoholic food, oily food, or the bag of lead will dissolve into the food; The bags are also not allowed to hold food at temperatures above 50°C.

Insiders point out that the vast majority of plastic bags sold and used on the market at present are produced by small enterprises or family workshops all over the country, and a considerable number of plastic products are recycled. They are recycled and processed by waste plastic collected from garbage stations, industrial wastes and plastic waste discarded by medical institutions, and privately processed into food bags without disinfection.

These recycled plastics contain high levels of bacteria and carcinogens, and the use of these plastic products in the packaging of cooked food directly into the mouth will cause extremely serious health consequences for consumers. Such plastic bags contain a large number of bacteria that cannot be seen by the naked eye. Long-term use of such disposable plastic food bags is easy to cause chronic food poisoning. In this regard, consumers can use the following ways to test toxic and non-toxic plastic bags:
