yes plastic bags are a health hazard. this is beause people can suffocate, this is becasue if a young child gets a hold of the bag they can put it over their heads and then they can have it wrapped around their head and neck and lose oxygen. it is also a health hazard becasue it can pollute the earth since it takes a long time to degarte because it is not biodegradable.
