Plastic Pollution: Environmental Health Of Workers Affected By Pollutant

Image
A new study in environmental science has revealed that workers in the industrial sector who use Bisphenol A or BPA in their manufacturing process may likely have up to 70 times the amount of this environmental pollutant in their bodies when compared to the average individual.  This environmental pollution from BPA has impacted negatively on reproduction and fertility. Studies even show that industrial BPA pollution in some worker were as much as a 1000 times higher than general household BPA exposure. The study which is the first to look into the exposure to BPA in the manufacturing industry discovered that most workers had high levels of the plastic pollutant which has been shown to affect environmental health by disrupting hormonal activities in the body just after a few days of exposure.   It has been suggested by environmental health and safety experts that this industrial level exposure to BPA may have a potentially fatal effect on reproductive health and fe...

One of the most challenging aspects of being a wom an is having to cop e with infertility. This is because being fertile, as a woman, not only satisfies the emotional desire a woman has for creating a life, but a lso a very deep physical and biological urge . It is very important for women to pay attention to their bodies in pursuing health and pregnancy, especially to scientists' warming over environmental exposure to toxic pollutants and chemicals. Fertility experts now believe that is better to avoid environmental pollution from toxic chemicals in our homes than to do sign up for body cleansing procedures. Where we live, the foods we eat, and the contact we make with various household products have unbelievable influence in our health and well-being.

Environmental Pollutant in Plastic Likely To Cause Prostate Cancer

The prostate gland, which develops in human males when they are fetuses, is to a great degree sensitive to estrogen. Thus, scientists have long ago speculated that prostate cancer could increase in men as a result of their interactions with estrogen-like chemicals in the womb. Unlike other cancer-causing chemicals that can bring about significant harm to DNA, Bisphenol-A or BPAappears to exact unobtrusive changes that are passed from one generation ontothe next.

Environmental Pollution: Plastic Pollution And World Health

Plastic Pollution : "The world population is living, working, vacationing, increasingly conglomerating along the coasts, and standing on the front row of the greatest, most unprecedented, plastic waste tide ever faced. Washed out on our coasts in obvious and clearly visible form, the plastic pollution spectacle blatantly unveiling on our beaches is only the prelude of the greater story that unfolded further away in the world’s oceans, yet mostly originating from where we stand: the land. From the whale, sea lions, and birds to the microscopic organisms called zooplankton, plastic has been, and is, greatly affecting marine life on shore and off shore. In a 2006 report, Plastic Debris in the World’s Oceans, Greenpeace stated that at least 267 different animal species are known to have suffered from entanglement and ingestion of plastic debris. According to the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, plastic debris kills an estimated 100,000 marine mammals annu...
