Que 1) Read the following passage and Choose the correct option. (Mark10 )
Plastics form an important class of synthetics-plastics are also polymers. Since most
plastics can be easily molded into any shape after heating, they are used for making a
variety of objects of different shapes and sizes. Plastics are poor conductors of heat
which makes them suitable for making handles of cooking vessels, for use in
refrigerators, and for making containers used in microwave ovens. Plastics are also poor
conductors of electricity and that is why they are used as covering materials in electrical
appliances like cords and wiring. Plastics are insoluble in water and are, therefore, used
for making bottles, buckets and other containers. Most plastics are inflammable.
However, they do not corrode, or rust and so are mostly used in homes and
laboratories. Despite the many different uses of plastics, there are environmental and
health hazards associated with their disposal. This is because plastics are non-
biodegradable. Accumulation of plastics is considered a serious problem because most
of the methods used to dispose them of result in some type of damage to the
environment. Though somewhere between 500 million to 1 trillion plastic bags are
consumed worldwide each year, most plastic wastes end up littering roadsides and form
ugly dumps that harbor many disease causing organisms. Plastics dumped in water
bodies pose a threat to aquatic life; plastics that get buried prevent rainwater from
seeping into the ground. This affects the growth of plants. When plastics are burnt, they
produce toxic gases and smoke. Hence, reducing the usage of plastics and recycling
plastic objects and using bio-degradable environmental friendly plastics is the only
solution.
