Dear Friends

Plastics are used widely everywhere in our life and without plastic, modern civilization would

indeed look very diverse. This study focuses on the toxic effects of plastic on human health and

environment and possible consequences of health risk assessment in Bangladesh. Plastics are

essential materials in modern civilization, and many products manufactured from plastics and in

numerous cases, they promote risks to human health and the environment. Plastics are contained

many chemical and hazardous substances such as Bisphenol A (BPA), thalates, antiminitroxide,

brominated flame retardants, and poly- fluorinated chemicals etc. which are a serious risk factor

for human health and environment. Plastics are being used by Bangladeshi people without

knowing the toxic effects of plastic on human health and environment. Different human health

problems like irritation in the eye, vision failure, breathing difficulties, respiratory problems,

liver dysfunction, cancers, skin diseases, lungs problems, headache, dizziness, birth effect,

reproductive, cardiovascular, genotoxic, and gastrointestinal causes for using toxic plastics.

Plastics occur serious environment pollution such as soil pollution, water pollution, and air

pollution. Application of proper rules and regulations for the production and use of plastics can

reduce toxic effects of plastics on human health and environment.

Plastic pollution is one of the most important environmental problems that

we face today. It impacts the environment and our health and wellbeing.
We have all contributed to this problem – mostly unknowingly – and we
must work to reduce and ultimately to End Plastic Pollution. This is how
we can contribute our bit

Start using a glass or stainless steel water bottle in place of disposable

plastic water bottles (this is my favorite). Even better, fill your water bottle
from a re-usable stainless steel water filter that will also help reduce
chemical exposure from water.

 Switch to reusable grocery bags instead of plastic or paper bags.

These are widely available at many stores or you can make your own
from old t-shirts. Bring lightweight mesh bags to the store to use for
produce.
 Stop buying processed foods that are packaged in plastics. This is
a huge step for your health on its own, but it will also reduce the
amount of plastic waste we produce each year. Shop at farmers
markets and use reusable bags. If it is in a plastic bag or a box, just
don’t buy it.
 Replace plastic bags and plastic food storage containers with
safer reusable options. Plastic bags, plastic wrap and thin plastic
storage containers are major sources of plastic exposure. Switch to
glass or stainless steel for storage, or use an unbreakable option like
silicon. I like this silicon storage available here (use the code WMX10 to
get 10% off). You can even make your own reusable snack bags.
 Buy wooden or metal toys for children instead of plastic. (They last
longer too!)
 Bring your own glass/metal bottle or thermos when buying drinks
away from home. Don’t get takeout food in Styrofoam containers
which are a major source of plastic chemicals and waste.
 Consider using cloth diapers instead of disposable.
 Use glass and metal dishes, silverware and bakeware in place of
plastic.
 Don’t use Styrofoam for projects or models.
 Recycle whatever you can!
