Synthetic Polymer Contamination in Global Drinking Water

In the past 70 years, the surge of plastic products has become extraordinary, but it is very simple, but without them you can not live. We currently produce about 300 million tons of plastic a year, but half of it is disposable. More than 8 million tons of plastic is thrown away in our sea every year.

Plastic is inexpensive, versatile and has many functions making it ideal for many applications. However, these qualities also make it environmental problems. We have developed a "one-time" lifestyle. And it is estimated that about 50% of plastics are used only once and thrown away.

Plastic is a valuable resource and plastic contamination is an unnecessary and unsustainable waste of this resource.

There are about 50 billion plastic bags every year in the world. Use more than 1 million bags per minute

According to the data of Container Recycling Institute, the US sold 107.7 million PET bottles drinks in 2014.

57% of these equipments are plastic bottles. In 2014 57.3 billion books were sold. This is an increase from 8 billion bottles sold in 1996, the first year of available data.

The process of manufacturing bottled water requires about 6 times more water per bottle.

14% of all waste is generated from the drink container. Given capital letters and labels, the numbers get bigger

Approximately 40% of the cause of death in the world is due to water pollution. Contaminated water affects animals and plants of marine organisms and these organisms can cause diseases that are harmful if human beings eat. In addition, drinking water pollution caused by natural water resources can cause diseases such as jaundice, cholera or typhoid fever. The main problem caused by noise pollution (also called sound quality pollution) is that it affects the physical and mental health of individuals who are exposed to excessive sound. Sometimes it can cause hearing impairment or even hearing loss. It may also cause a change in blood pressure and eventually the possibility of causing problems leading to coronary artery disease

Environmental pollution is one of the main reasons for the shortage of drinking water. Pollution contaminates available water sources and risks water to human consumption. Contamination can also adversely affect the environment, adversely affect and may drain water (Levy 62-67). This section explains three main pollution types, water and air pollution and groundwater contamination. Air pollution is caused by human activity such as fuel combustion, harmful gas releasing industrial products or automobile products, and emission of greenhouse gases. Air pollution is the main cause of global warming. Because the gas released into the atmosphere makes it possible to confine more heat to the surface of the earth, leading to global warming.
