Plastic pollution is the accumulation of plastic objects and particles (e.g. plastic bottles, bags and micro beads) in the Earth's environment that adversely affects wildlife, wildlife habitat, and humans. Living organisms, particularly marine animals, can be harmed either by mechanical effects, such as entanglement in plastic objects, problems related to ingestion of plastic waste, or through exposure to chemicals within plastics that interfere with their physiology. Effects on humans include disruption of various hormonal mechanisms.
The litter that is being delivered into the oceans is toxic to marine life, and humans. The toxins that are components of plastic include diethylhexyl phthalate, which is a toxic carcinogen, as well as lead, cadmium, and mercury.
And the coastal areas in my hometown Quang Ngai, a central province in Vietnam, are also facing serious pollution.  On the coastal fishing villages ,everywhere we can see nylon bags lying along the beaches. This situation occurs partly due to the consciousness and living customs of the people, partly because the government has not an effective solution to the nylon waste situation.
