What are two possible ways that making plastics for electronic devices can affect the environment?
1. Pollution: The production of plastics for electronic devices can lead to pollution of air, water, and soil through the release of harmful chemicals and greenhouse gases. These pollutants can have detrimental effects on ecosystems, wildlife, and human health.
2. Waste: Plastics used in electronic devices are often difficult to recycle and can end up in landfills, where they can take hundreds of years to decompose. This results in a build-up of plastic waste, contributing to environmental issues such as litter, marine pollution, and the depletion of natural resources.
