Consider the following:Cigarette buttsEyeglass lensesCar tyresHow many of them contain plastic?

Question

Accepted Answer

Option 1 is correct: Cigarette butts are a persistent form of toxic plastic pollution. Tobacco product waste also contains over 7000 toxic chemicals, including known human carcinogens. Cigarette filters are made of cellulose acetate and therefore also contribute significantly to plastic pollution Option 2 is correct: Many eyeglass lenses are made of plastic. CR-39, also known as Columbia resin #39, is a common plastic material used in lenses. Other plastics like polycarbonate and Trivex are also used, each with its own properties. Plastic lenses offer advantages like being lightweight and less prone to shattering compared to traditional glass lenses. Option 3 is correct: Tyre particles are a significant but often-overlooked contributor to microplastic pollution. They account for 28% of microplastics entering the environment globally. Hence, option (c) is the correct answer.
