Can agricultural plastic products cause health problems for farmers and consumers?

Yes, agricultural plastic products can potentially cause health problems for both farmers and consumers. Farmers may be exposed to harmful chemicals during the production, use, and disposal of these plastics. Residual chemicals can contaminate soil and water, leading to exposure through ingestion or inhalation. Consumers might be affected by chemicals leaching into food from plastic packaging or through the presence of microplastics in the food chain. Additionally, the breakdown of plastics into microplastics can accumulate in the environment, potentially entering the food chain and posing a risk to human health.
