Plastics seems to be the culprit in destroying our health and the environment - is that true?
About Me
Why I write this Blog
Is it true that eating from plastics wares used in microwave ovens causes cancer?
Will the ban on using plastics bags help to save the environment or do more harm?
Plastics is monopolizing our landfills . . . really?
There has been many articles published by various media saying that plastics is harmful to the environment as well as to our health. How much of these are true?
Most of the articles in this blog were not written by me. They were published by relevant authorities like US Food and Drug Administration, Environmental Agencies, Medical Institutions, etc. - to clear the misconceptions most people have on plastics.
I have collected them and posted it here for reference. I may occasionally write my views and thoughts too.
