The worldwide frenzy brought about by COVID-19 has kept on expanding individuals' interest for veils. Notwithstanding, because of deficient administration and removal practice, these covers have, sadly, entered the climate and delivery a lot of microplastics (MPs), representing a serious danger to the climate and human wellbeing. Understanding the event of veil squander in different conditions, arrival of cover beginning MPs, and related natural gamble is fundamental for cover squander the board in current and future pandemic avoidance and control. This paper centers around the worldwide appropriation of veil squander, the likely arrival of waste-beginning MPs, and the effect on the climate. In particular, the physical and substance properties of polypropylene (the most widely recognized plastic material in a cover), which show a high adsorption limit with regards to weighty metals and natural contaminations and assume a part as a help for microbial development, were broadly detailed. What's more, a few significant issues that should be settled are raised, which offers a course for future exploration. This audit centers around the centrality of taking care of covers to stay away from likely natural issues.

A few investigations have been done to detect the heavy metals concentration in Al-Shabanat farm south of Riyadh near a group of different factories in order to determine its environmental impacts. The heavy metals were measured by using ICP-MS. The Results indicate that soil of Al-Shabanat farm has different concentrations of heavy metals. In this research the metals have been measured ware: Pb, Cd, Ni, As, Cr, Zn and Cu. The result of the concentration was within the permissible rang. The direct impact of heavy metals on humans and animals has been recognized that these metals didn’t pollute the soil due to the use of some factors that reduce the pollution rate, such as using fertilizers, in acceptable limits.
