Most people are scare of the bears because it looks agressive and actually might kill someone someday if ther were unlucky enogh, it could be your neighbors, friends, or even your family members. We all beware of the bears' existance but not the real killer like plastic,.
In reality, plastics are more harmful than other living things, but their pollutions were still barely recognized. Bears look like they could kill you, can actually kill you, but plastics look like a cinnamon roll, but can actaully kill you.
there are 2 types of plastics, which are
Thermal Plastic - could be soften where it was exposed to the heat
Thermosetting plastic - opposite to Thermal plastic,hard to beah it to a heat and sun
Thermal Plastic
Polyethylene (PE) for producing films, coatings, food containers, etc.
Polypropylene (PP) for food plastic bags, rpoes, and syringe
these subtances can cause suffocation and irritation
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) for producing pipes, cables, oil bottles, and foam containers.
it can cause decrease pulmonary function
Polystyrene (PS) for producing toys, plastic plates and bowls. this can cause dizziness, despiratory irritation, eczema, and can be hazardous to the liver, peripheral nervous system (PNS), central nervous system (CNS) and chromosome in the long term.
Thermosetting plastic
Phenolic resin for producing electrical appliances, pot handles, pans, and used as construction materials, such as ornamental wood, adhesive, and waterproof plywood.
this substances can cause despiratory and irritation, once your skin was exposed to this, your skin will be inflammation. if you take in this substances with such a high doses, it will cause fatigue, drastic weight loss and harm to the liver. Moreover, dust from resin grinding can damage the lungs and cause pneumonia
Epoxy resins is for coating metel, wood, and plastics. It's the main material for producing adhesive and colosr.
Once your skin was exposed to this, your skin will get irritated and tend to cause your lungs, eyes and despiratory more sensitive and irritated.
So we better be wearing a mask while stay inside the plastic manufactoring factory and reducing the plastic uasge for both of our enviroment and our health condition. Let's help polar bears live longer, and also,us, human.
