Polythene causing poly hazards...

We all know about the environmental pollution and all that. But still, people burn down all sorts of things when they are mad or furious. Even though man is a smart animal he/she gets a screw untightened sometimes. Now let's see what that unwinding of screw has did to the mother earth. Even in riots people burn down polythene. But what they don't know is that while burning the polythene they are just ruining their own live. Here are some data telling you how it is dangerous.






Dioxin, released when burning polythene is extremely hazardous to human health and the worst factor is that the dioxin can cause harm to people living even hundreds of kilometers far away from actual burning places.

Following are some key facts regarding dioxin we researched in WHO sources.

Dioxins are a group of chemically-related compounds that are persistent environmental pollutants.

Dioxins are found throughout the world in the environment and they accumulate in the food chain, mainly in the fatty tissue of animals.

More than 90% of human exposure is through food, mainly meat and dairy products, fish and shellfish. Many national authorities have programmes in place to monitor the food supply.
Dioxins are highly toxic and can cause reproductive and developmental problems, damage the immune system, interfere with hormones and also cause cancer.

Woah, now there's the difference I wanted you to see. A disease like cancer is an absolute No, No. So to be ensured that it does not occur to you.Never even pretend that you don't know anything about burning polythene products when you are burning one. The consequences maybe hazardous.
