Why plastic pollution is toxic to human health and the environment
We live in the age of plastic – with massive consequences for the environment and the human being. Toxic chemicals leached by plastic end up in the human body via ingestion, inhalation or dermal absorption. The production of plastics increased to the same extent as the rise of so-called lifestyle or civilization diseases such as allergies, asthma, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, autoimmune conditions or cardiovascular diseases. According to many scientists, endocrine-disrupting chemicals also interfere with the body’s hormonal system causing various significant problems. Heike Schröder, expert for building biology, describes not only the ecological harm that we are doing to our environment, but also explains which consequences the use of plastic has for our health.
