Many humans do not know that plastic can have many negative effects on human health. For example there is a chemical called BPA which stands for Bis-phenol A. Bis-phenol A is a chemical that is needed in order to make plastic. This chemical is mainly found in plastic bottles, and plastic containers. The only problem with this chemical is that when a plastic gets hot then BPA dissolves into the the liquid in the container. People then drink the water or the liquid without knowing what the bad effects of it are. Some bad effects that result from BPA that "tests have shown that the chemical can promote human breast cancer cell growth as well as decrease sperm count in rats, among other effects." This indicates that by using plastic we are not only harming the environment, but we are also harming our health. The harm of plastic bottles is usually not notice because people have no idea that plastic has this kind of negative effect. In fact last week I asked some people if they knew anything about BPA and most of them gave me a blank stare. This is why I decided to create a page in which I am to inform them what Bis-phenol A stands for and why it is harmful.
