Holocene extinction

Holocene extinction can refer to

ongoing extinction of species

caused by humans roughly from

the time of early agriculture.

With increased population growth

and building activity(roads, housing,

agricultural fields, irrigation),

the natural environments(e.g. forests)

have become managed or artificial:

the species which didn't adapt to

conditions of coexistence with humans

were driven to extinction, however

due chemical pollution in the

19th-20th centuries the purely

natural environment has become

dependent on human economic activity.

Production of microplastics from plastic garbage

and chemical aerosols/emissions from factories caused

dangerous chemicals(carried in plastic micro-particles) that

have begun accumulating in animal/plant tissues

all over the world. Protected by microplastic

envelope, thousands of toxins and chemicals

have gained protection from degradation and

become easily dispersed by wind.

Microplastic itself causes hormonal disruption

by leaching xenoestrogenic compounds while it

degrades.
