Effects Of Plastic Straws. There is a lot of research now underway on the health effects of ocean plastics, but we already know that some plastics, and the chemicals that attach themselves to plastics in the water, can cause cancer, genetic disruptions and other ill effects. How significant or potentially effective are recent commitments to ban plastic straws? Metal and glass straws are much safer and hold up to wear and tear longer than plastic, but even these have their problems. The threat doesn’t stop at entanglement and ingestion. According to one assessment, a glass straw is responsible for 44. Plastic straw bans are alive and well today, with new proposals still cropping up at the state and city levels. Shocking statistics reveal that over 800 marine species are impacted by plastic pollution, with plastic straws being a significant contributor. Stanford experts discuss the limitations of these bans and the potential for meaningful change. Straws are the latest on an expanding list of individual plastic products being banned, taxed, or boycotted in an effort to curb seaborn plastic trash before it outweighs fish, a calculation.
