Combating Plastic Pollution and Climate Change

25 January, 2025

Dear Sirs,

Warm greetings from Bangladesh!

The World Health Organization (WHO) expressed its concern that the potential impacts of plastics on health have become an issue of global concern due to risks and harms from plastics at each stage of their lifecycle. Many gaps remain in the current scientific knowledge of the health impacts of different types of plastics, chemicals and additives and their breakdown in the environment, however there is increasing public awareness and overwhelming consensus amongst all stakeholders that plastics do not belong in the environment and measures should be taken to mitigate exposure to microplastics and harmful chemicals released during plastics manufacture, use and disposal.

In line with that please have a look at my news article titled: Combating Plastic Pollution and Climate Change, PARVEZ BABUL, News Now Bangla, January 25, 2025. Here is the link to view: https://en.newsnowbangla.com/archives/70156

Happy reading!

Feedback solicited.
