Summary

This review examines the global environmental impact of polythene plastic pollution, discussing its effects on aquatic ecosystems and public health while analyzing the international and regional legislative frameworks aimed at reducing plastic production and use.

Study Type Environmental

Plastic pollution is one of the major environmental concerns of the twenty-first century. It has an impact on the global environment and will eventually have an impact on every walk of life. Plastic pollution is not an issue of one state or region, but it is a global issue. Human intellectuals and states all have the duty to give alternate option to stop plastic pollution locally and internationally. Aquatic pollution due to plastic waste is a worldwide challenge causing adverse impacts on aquatic ecosystems and public health. In this paper, plastic pollution, production, usage, our ocean, the producer, and the legal framework for the control of plastic use or plastic pollution globally as well regionally will be discussed. It also focuses the effects of plastic pollution on our environment, especially on marine creatures as it can be hurt either by mechanical impacts, physiological problems linked to ingesting plastic garbage, or being exposed to synthetic compounds introduced into plastics.
