FACE MASKS: AN ENVIRONMENTAL DISASTER THAT

COULD LAST GENERATIONS

1 Face coverings are now a legal requirement in many public spaces around the
world. Millions of people are expected to wear masks but there is little guidance
on how to dispose of the masks safely. As countries began to lift lockdown
restrictions and people can move around, they will need billions of masks each
month globally. Without better disposal practices, an environmental disaster is
looming. The majority of masks are manufactured from strong and durable
plastic materials. If the masks are discarded in open spaces, these can remain
for many years and cause harm to people, animals and the environment.
Littered areas also tend to encourage further littering, making the problem
worse.
2
Discarded masks are hazardous to people as these can spread the coronavirus
to waste collectors and litter pickers. A mask just left on the table in a restaurant
can infect waiters or cleaners who first come across the litter. We know that in
certain conditions, the virus can survive on a plastic mask for up to seven days.
In addition to masks, other items of PPE (personal protective equipment) also
present similar harm.
3
Over time, animals and plants are also affected. Plastic waste can harm
environments and break up ecosystems. Some small animals may choke on the
littered masks or become entangled in the elastic of the masks. Even if they do
not choke, animals can become malnourished as the materials fill up their
stomachs but with no nutrition. Discarded facemasks littering the ocean may be
mistaken for prey and be eaten by sea creatures.
4
Plastics decompose into smaller pieces as the litter remains in the environment.
Plastics first break down into micro-plastics and eventually into even smaller
nano-plastics. These tiny particles and fibres are often long-lived polymers that
will become part of food chains. Just one mask can produce millions of
particles, each with the potential to carry chemicals and bacteria up the food
chain and potentially even into humans.
5
In March this year, the World Health Organisation estimated that 81 million
disposable masks will be needed globally each month in medical settings to
combat Covid-19. In addition, a recent report by the Plastic Waste Research
Laboratory at University College London indicated that 24,7 billion masks will be
needed annually in the UK alone. But this can decrease to 136 million, if only
people became conscious of littering and started to use reusable masks. The
researchers compared the manufacture, use and disposal of masks that were
disposable and masks that were reusable, to understand their overall

environmental impact.

6 The researchers found that, although machine-washing the reusable masks

uses electricity, this had the lowest harmful impact. Handwashing had a greater
negative impact because it used more water and detergent for each mask. In
addition to having a lower environmental impact, reusable masks are often
much more fashionable, can be colour coded to match outfits and can be
manufactured in fancy fabrics and designs. With all of this in mind, we should
commit to using reusable masks. Follow the instructions for the fabric and
machine-wash.
7
Try to carry a spare mask, so if something goes wrong with the one you are
wearing, you don't need to buy a disposable mask. If you have to use a
disposable mask, place it in a proper public bin or take it home and put it straight
into a bin with a lid. Don't put disposable masks in the recycling bin as these can
get caught in recycling equipment. Whatever you do, don't litter.

TEXT C

HOW TO SHOP ONLINE SAFELY

There are many stores that now include an online shopping service and we know that
these companies have become popular. For example, Takealot.com is an online store
whose brand name is widely advertised and instantly recognisable. However, it is
important to verify the identity of less popular online stores who do not advertise widely.

Always ensure that the company is stable and has a good reputation for online sales.
Do not assume that just because an online store sells many products, that their service
is reliable. The company must have a verifiable street address and contact number.
Look for a picture of the company on the internet.

Customer satisfaction can be checked through internet searches on consumer review

sites. Search for comments and reviews from other customers to see if they were
impressed or disappointed with the company. The company must also give an
indication of how long it will take to deliver the product to you.

Once you are happy with the online company, be sure that your credit card details will
be secure and private, to avoid any fraudulent activities using your information. Use a
credit card with online fraud protection. Know the policy for online fraud protection
offered by your bank, as leading banks offer protection against purchases made
without consent.

Be sure to enter the correct details when typing in your order, including the description
of the item you are ordering and the quantity. Look for the additional or hidden costs
and payment details before you send your credit card details. Always review the
information before pressing send.

After purchasing your item, record details of the time, date and receipt number. You
should receive immediate confirmation of your order through either an e-mail or sms.
If you cannot print this, take a screenshot. This will be your proof of purchase.

Thousands of e-mails are sent out to trap innocent customers who become victims of
fraud by giving away confidential information. The e-mails appear to be from well-
known companies and can look quite convincing. E-mails that want to gather personal
information such as passwords and credit card details are known as phishing e-mails
or scams. Be aware of these e-mails!
