Potential routes of exposure/potential health
effects
Skin: BPA from plastic containers can be absorbed
through the skin.
Eye: chemicals in plastics can cause irritation in the
eye, and if further exposed, vision failure.
Inhalation: when plastic waste are burned, they
produce dioxin. If inhaled, it can instantly cause
coughing, shortness of breath and dizziness.
Ingestion: Plastics can leech many of harmful
chemicals into the water or food it's being used to
contain, causing food contamination.
Carcinogenic effects: Long-term exposure to dioxin
(a chemical caused by burning of plastic) can cause
cancer. At certain exposure levels, chemicals in these
plastic, such as bisphenol A (BPA), may cause
cancer in people.
Mutagenic effects: Mutagens may cause induction
of the disruption of DNA molecular structure and brain
damage, If the plastic’s composition has additives
such as Mercury.

biological processes within 6 months
Bioaccumulation: wastes from markets pose
chemical threats such as bioaccumulation of the
chemical ingredients of plastic to wildlife and the
marine ecosystem.
M. Disposal Guidelines to Proper waste disposal must be followed
