Answer 1

$\huge\boxed{\fcolorbox{blue}{yellow}{Answer :-}}$

1. Plastics are poor absorbers of moisture, hence fabric made from pure plastics are not good for garments. They are not airy also. To overcome this disadvantage synthetic fibres are blended with natural fibres (cotton and wool).

2. Plastics may melt or catch fire on heating, hence synthetic materials should be kept away from fire (except thermosets). If the synthetic fabric catches fire while being worn by a person, it melts and sticks to the body. It is risky for the housewives to work in the kitchen while wearing synthetic wears.

3. Plastics while rubbing with our body develop static electric charge upon them which is harmful for skin. You might have observed sparks jumping between the fabric (shirt) and the body while taking off the shirt made from rayon. Sparks from rayon also give out crackling sound.

4. On burning it emits foul smell and poisonous gases.

5. Plastic is not bio-degradable, hence a major pollutant.
