Plastic takes many years to decompose and they release toxic substances in the environment.
The fact that plastic bags take so long to break down has a serious adverse effect on the environment. Additionally, when plastic bags burn, a toxic material is released into the air, adding to ambient air pollution, and when plastic bags degrade in sunlight, harmful compounds are released into the soil. Hazardous chemicals could leach into the earth nearby from chlorinated plastic. The environment and adjacent water sources, especially groundwater, may then be affected by these contaminants.
