Chapter 15, Problem 15.53CP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The physiological effects exposure to formaldehyde should be explained; formaldehyde is released when burning some plastic.
Concept Introduction:
Chemical exposure: Serval chemical can result in varying symptoms with different degrees of danger, mild reactions include burning and tearing of the eyes, throat, nose, chest, skin. The several chemical include coughing, wheezing, feeling faint, convulsion and even death.
Chemical hazards: Exposure the chemical getting into on human body to occur to make you sick or cause adverse health effects or have any effect on your health. If cannot exposed to the chemical, it cannot make you sick.

Catalytic hydrogenation, used in the food industry, converts double bonds in the fatty acids of the oil triacylglycerols to —CH2— CH2—. How does this affect the physical properties of the oils?
Organic polymers have a similar composition to that of common carbohydrates(predominantly composed of Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen atoms). By principle, somecarbohydrates readily react with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide and water vapor,explain why this principle doesn’t spontaneously work on organic polymer wastes such asPolyethylene terepththalate (PET) and Polystyrene (PS)?
