Disadvantages of Road Transportation

Crowned roads affect how your motorcycle handles and how your tires wear. On a crowned road, that means the pavement slopes from its highest point at the left side of our lane down to its lowest point on the right edge of the lane.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Road Transport

• Less Capital Outlay: ADVERTISEMENTS:
• Door to Door Service: The outstanding advantage of road transport is that it provides door to door or warehouse to warehouse service.
• Service in Rural Areas:
• Flexible Service:
• Suitable for Short Distance:
• Lesser Risk of Damage in Transit:
• Saving in Packing Cost:
• Rapid Speed:

• Vulnerable to Season and Weather Impacts: Road transport infrastructure and travel is vulnerable to weather changes and seasons.
• Accidents and Breakdowns:
• Not the Best Option for Long Distance and Heavy Cargo:
• Slow Speed:
• Lack of Organisation and Structure:

Glass has its properties as a transparent glazing material in construction….Disadvantages of Glass

• Cost.
• Brittleness.
• Impact Resistant.
• Etching on Glass surface.
• Corrosion due to alkali solution.
• Heat transparency.
• Unsafe for Earthquake-prone areas.
• Heat Absorbent.

Disadvantages: Manufacturing of glass is high energy consuming process due to high temperature required for processing the raw materials, and it is expensive material and ultimately increases the cost of a building.

“There are many advantages of plastic materials such as: They are light weight. They are water resistant. They are durable. They are strong….Disadvantages of using “”plastics”” are:

• They pollute our environment.
• They pose a danger to wildlife.
• They do not degrade quickly.

Disadvantages of Plastic:

• They are non renewable resources.
• They produce toxic fumes when burnt.
• They are low heat resistant and poor ductility.
• They are non biodegradable.
• They harm the environment by choking the drains.
• The poisonous gaseous product produced by the decomposition plastic can causes CANCER.

Disadvantages of Plastics Natural decomposition of plastic can last from 400-1000 years and few types of plastics are non-degradable as well. Plastic materials clog waterways, oceans, seas, lakes etc.

What Are The Benefits of Reducing Plastic Waste?

• Less plastic = less carbon dioxide.
• Less recycling = less carbon dioxide.
• Consuming less plastic saves animals.
• Consuming less plastic can save humans.
• Less plastic makes our water cleaner.
• Less plastic makes our food safer.
• Less plastic makes our air safer.

Yes it is possible to live without plastic, though this might be difficult at first. We can get our own containers for milk, honey and more, like in the past. Buy veggies by weight in a single bag, instead of individual plastic ones. These are just few steps but we can get rid of plastic usage if we try hard enough!

The ban also kept them from littering neighborhoods and the environment. While the Sydney study is cited as a criticism of bag bans, it also shows how successful they are in reducing plastic bag use. The study also indicates that bans don’t go far enough to end the plastic crisis.

Plastic packaging helps protect and preserve goods, while reducing weight in transportation, which saves fuel and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. From computers and cell phones to televisions and microwaves, durable, lightweight and affordable plastics have helped revolutionize the electronics we rely on every day.

Plastic pollution is the most widespread problem affecting the marine environment. It also threatens ocean health, food safety and quality, human health, coastal tourism, and contributes to climate change.

“Plastics have transformed our lives: revolutionized medicine, lighten every car and jumbo jet today, saving fuel—and pollution. In the form of clingy, light-as-air wraps, they extend the life of fresh food. In airbags, incubators, helmets, or simply by delivering clean drinking water plastics save lives daily.

Plastic is durable and provides protection from contaminants and the elements. It reduces food waste by preserving food and increasing its shelf life. It protects food against pests, microbes and humidity.

Plastics clearly constitute an important component of the range of materials used in modern society. Almost all aspects of daily life involve plastics or rubber in some form or the other. Owing to their light weight, plastics reduce transportation costs and, therefore, atmospheric carbon dioxide emissions.

Plastic pollution causes harm to humans, animals and plants through toxic pollutants. It can take hundreds or even thousands of years for plastic to break down so the environmental damage is long-lasting. It affects all organisms in the food chain from tiny species like plankton through to whales.

Microplastics entering the human body via direct exposures through ingestion or inhalation can lead to an array of health impacts, including inflammation, genotoxicity, oxidative stress, apoptosis, and necrosis, which are linked to an array of negative health outcomes including cancer, cardiovascular diseases.

Normally, plastic items take up to 1000 years to decompose in landfills. But plastic bags we use in our everyday life take 10-20 years to decompose, while plastic bottles take 450 years.

Plastics could protect the natural world from the destructive forces of human need. The creation of new materials also helped free people from the social and economic constraints imposed by the scarcity of natural resources. Inexpensive celluloid made material wealth more widespread and obtainable.
