Inspiration
During my short journey in high school, I've gotten more and more involved in environmental issues. During my research, I came across the perils of synthetic dyes. Though unknown, synthetic dyes place an atrocious effect every single day. In fact, it releases 12 kg of CO2 per month and 144 kg of CO2 per year. Other than these environmental problems, it also causes health problems.
Purpose
To bring awareness of the effects of synthetic dyes and promote natural dyes. With funding and a proper domain, it is even more possible for this change to happen as the production of natural dyes is a little costly due to the availability of fruits, vegetables, etc. and due to the reusability of water. Beyond that, we can have minimal environmental impact and minimal health impact as well.
Cons of Synthetic Dyes
a) Health Problems: - Constitutes a danger to health on account of their material composition, particularly through toxicological substances or impurities - Affects a human’s central nervous system, kidney, reproductive system, brain, liver, etc. - Causes significant health effects like an increase in tumours, carcinogens, dermatitis, and respiratory diseases Irritates the eyes, skin, mucous membrane, and the upper respiratory tract
b) Environmental Hazards: - Produces air pollution by releasing particulate matter and dust, chemically oxidizing of nitrogen and sulfur, volatizing organic compounds, and contaminating the air, soil, sediments, surface water and groundwater - Discharges many chemicals through the polluted water, which results in the death of aquatic life, the ruining of soils and poisoning of drinking water - Causes foul odor and unwanted sight - Restricts sunlight penetration in contaminated water bodies and impairs photosynthesis - Responsible for the eutrophication, recalcitrance, bioaccumulation, and biochemical and chemical oxygen demand
