What if we accidentally Eat Plastic? | #aumsum

Firstly, plastic is not biodegradable. As compared to organic waste, it takes hundreds of years to decompose. But, if the quantity of swallowed plastic is small, then it will not be a problem. Our body pushes out the materials which it cannot digest. Problems might occur if the quantity of swallowed plastic is large. Our body will not be able to push it out. It will stay in our gut and might partially prevent further food digestion. In extreme cases, this may also prove to be fatal.

Also, many plastics are chemical-laden. These chemicals are commonly known as phthalates. They are used to make plastics more flexible, transparent, hard to break as well as to increase their longevity. Phthalates are extremely harmful to our body. They can damage our liver, kidneys, lungs and reproductive system.
