2. THE PROBLEMS ASSOCIATED
WITH EXCESSIVE USE OF
PLASTICS ARE GIVEN BELOW
Plastics have a very long half-life so they don't
breakdown in the environment. This creates
overloading of landfills. Also manufacturing
plants that create plastic produce nitrous and
sulfurous oxides that combine with water to
produce nitric and sulfuric acid that can get
into our water bodies lowering the Ph.

3. This causes problems to aquatic organisms
such as stunted growth, reproductive
problems, and death.
Plastics also leach chemicals that are called
endocrine disruptors. Biphenyl A is an
endocrine disruptor that mimics estrogen. It
has known to cause reproductive
complications such as infertility and
hermaphroditism.
There are more but this should give you an
idea.
