Questions: 1. Are humans getting plastic only from seafood? Explain:

2. Why is it difficult to say that plastics are directly causing illnesses?

3. What could be some of the negative effects of plastics on the
human body?

4. Why is the scientist Shanna Swan worried about the future of
humankind?

Explanation:1. It is known that humans are in fact eating these tiny plastic particles, but fish aren't the only source. Bottled water, beer, honey, sea salt and tea bags have all been exposed as microplastic carriers, just to name a few.

2.The chemicals used in the production of plastic are toxic and detrimental to the human body. Chemicals in plastic-like lead, cadmium and mercury directly can come in contact with the humans. These toxins can cause cancers, congenital disabilities, immune system problems and childhood development issues.

3.Microplastics entering the human body via direct exposures through ingestion or inhalation can lead to an array of health impacts, including inflammation, genotoxicity, oxidative stress, apoptosis, and necrosis, which are linked to an array of negative health outcomes including cancer, cardiovascular diseases,

4.Human penises are shrinking because of pollution, warns scientist. ... Dr Shanna Swan writes that humanity is facing an "existential crisis" in fertility rates as a result of phthalates, a chemical used when manufacturing plastics that impacts the hormone-producing endocrine system

water and alcohols have similar properties because water molecules contain hydroxyl groups that can form hydrogen bonds with other water molecules and with alcohol molecules, and likewise alcohol molecules can form hydrogen bonds with other alcohol molecules as well as with water.
