Cigarette Butts Kill Fish 0
A article recently published by San Diego State University (SDSU), argues that cigarette butts should have new disposal requirements and be labeled “hazardous waste” because they are non-biodegradable and filled with residues, tars, and particulate.
SDSU Public Health Professor, Tom Novotny, says cigarette butts are the number one littered substance in the world and that “when they unconsciously throw their butts onto the ground, it’s not just litter, it’s a toxic hazardous waste product.”
