Welcome to today's presentation on the pressing issue of plastic pollution. In the next
few slides, we will uncover the critical aspects of this environmental crisis, from its
origins to its global impact. Join us on this journey to gain insights into the world of
plastic pollution.
Plastic pollution can be categorized into four main
types based on its location and source of origin.

Plastic pollution in water primarily

Plastic pollution in the air, also

Human health effects
Plastic pollution can contaminate
water sources, leading to the
ingestion of microplastics by humans,
potentially causing health issues.
Exposure to certain chemicals found in

plastics, such as bisphenol A (BPA) and
phthalates, may disrupt the endocrine
system and have adverse effects on
hormonal balance.
Improper disposal of plastic waste in
landfills can lead to the release of toxic
chemicals and leachates that can
contaminate soil and groundwater,
affecting food crops and drinking water
sources.
