NON-BIODEGRADATION OF POLYMERIZED POLYETHYLENE RADICALS AT SELECTED DUMPSITES IN KEFFI, NASARAWA STATE NIGERIA [PDF]
Journal CleanWAS, 2023 Polythene and plastic bags pollutes the soil because these are non-biodegradable, and so, they cannot be degraded by the action of the microbes. Therefore, they remain in the soil and will pollute the soil.
