There are two types of polymers, which are natural and synthetic. Although natural polymers do not affect the environment, synthetic polymers do.Synthetic polymers are anything that is manufactured or influenced by humans. Due to this, these types of polymers release reactants which are hazardous; both to humans and the environment.Synthetic polymers, which include plastics, rubber, How do polymers effect the environment?adhesives, and Styrofoam cannot be degraded into the environment, causing a buildup of these chemicals all at once, causing a release of any "excess" chemicals into the environment.From there on, polymers create garbage loads, and chemical reactants that effect the environment, and spread around. Therefore effecting anything grown or eaten around it. This could call chemical poisoning to the greenery, animals, and living organisms around it. Not all polymers are bad. In fact humans are made up of polymers. But polymers from sources such as crude oil synthesized into plastics release toxins as they break down.
