They are chosen for the job because they have a suitable combination of properties.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The following are the typical properties of synthetic polymers:<\/strong><br \/>\n(a) Chemically stable<br \/>\n(b) Mostly are soft and flexible but some are hard<br \/>\n(c) Non-flammable<br \/>\n(d) Low density<br \/>\n(e) Relatively cheap<br \/>\n(f) Easy to mould or shape<br \/>\n(g) Can be coloured easily<\/li>\n<li>The stable property of synthetic polymers makes them very useful, but this also means that they are difficult to dispose of as they are not easily <strong>biodegradable<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>The wide usage of non-biodegradable synthetic polymers with their properties has created pollution on our environment. They pollute our land, water and air.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Land<\/strong><br \/>\nNon-biodegradable synthetic polymer wastes will block or clog up the drainage system, thereby causing <strong>flash flood<\/strong>. Plastic containers which are not properly disposed of will become breeding <strong>ground for mosquitoes<\/strong> which will cause the spread of diseases such as dengue.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Water<\/strong><br \/>\nThe waste pollutes lakes and rivers with chemicals, causing the water not suitable for aquatic organisms to live in it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Air<\/strong><br \/>\nThe open burning of synthetic polymers gives out harmful, pungent, acidic and poisonous gases that pollute the air. It causes green house effect and acid rain problems.<\/li>\n<li>The main source for the raw materials of plastic is the products of petrochemicals obtained from petroleum. Petroleum is depleting and non-renewable.<\/li>\n<li>Synthetic polymers with all their diverse chemical properties together with their durability, light weight and ease of fabrication are certainly a material that modern society cannot live without.<\/li>\n<li>Although synthetic polymers cause environmental problems, we can still continue using them but in a wiser manner. This is because these problems are not caused by the polymers but the irresponsible attitude of society.<\/li>\n<li>There are a number of ways to solve the problems caused by the use of synthetic polymers.<br \/>\n(a) Recycle<br \/>\n(b) Reuse<br \/>\n(c) Find alternative to non-biodegradable synthetic polymers<br \/>\n(d) Proper way of disposal of unwanted synthetic polymers<\/li>\n<li>Non-biodegradable plastic shopping begs and bottles are now replaced by biodegradable and photodegradable plastic.<\/li>\n<li>Recycling of synthetic polymers can be done by the following few steps:<br \/>\n(a) Collection of polymer waste<br \/>\n(b) Sorting of polymer waste<br \/>\n(c) Granulation<br \/>\n(d) Fabrication<\/li>\n<li>Many plastic containers can be collected, cleaned and reused for a certain number of times. Used plastic materials can be converted into decorative items.<\/li>\n<li>We must have a proper way of disposal of unwanted synthetic polymers. Burning plastics waste in incinerator will reduce the escape of the toxic gas into the atmosphere. Burying of waste plastics is a cheaper option to dispose plastics but they take a long time for microbes to break them down. Waste plastic can be disposed by pyrolysis, a process of heating the plastic wastes in the absence of air to break them down. This will prevent toxic gases from escaping to the atmosphere.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>People also ask<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aplustopper.com\/how-polymers-are-classified\/\">How polymers are classified?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aplustopper.com\/synthetic-fibres-examples\/\">What are Synthetic Fibres and give some Examples<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aplustopper.com\/advantages-disadvantages-synthetic-fibres\/\">What are the Advantages and Disadvantages of Synthetic Fibres<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aplustopper.com\/polyester-synthetic-artificial\/\">Is Polyester Synthetic or Artificial<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aplustopper.com\/common-type-plastic\/\">What is the most common type of plastic?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Justify the uses of synthetic polymers in daily life Synthetic polymers in daily life: Synthetic polymers have been widely used to replace many other building materials such as stones, metals, wood, clay, cotton, wool and natural rubber.
