A Study On Relationship Between Recycling Plastic And Proper Disposal
AI summary Read the abstract
This study examined the ingestion of microplastics by zooplankton in a freshwater lake during different seasonal conditions. Ingestion rates were highest when phytoplankton density was low, suggesting that zooplankton are more likely to accidentally consume microplastics when natural food is scarce, with seasonal dynamics influencing microplastic exposure risk.
This paper covers the plastic recycling and disposal process which is carried out by chemical and the mechanical means where several technologies and steps are involved. India and the world have witnessed substantial growth both in the production and consumption of plastics. In absence of appropriate waste collection and segregation processes, the management of waste especially for the discarded plastic used for packaging has become a challenging task. Growing plastic pollution is affecting ecosystem as well as human health. This paper provides an overview to of all the challenges due to plastic pollution, for recycling and disposal, ways to mitigate, interplay of plastic recycling and disposal and awareness among the humans over the globe
