  2. Polypropylene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polypropylene

    Polypropylene (PP), also known as polypropene, is a thermoplastic polymer used in a wide variety of applications. It is produced via chain-growth polymerization from the monomer propylene. Polypropylene belongs to the group of polyolefins and is partially crystalline and non-polar.

  3. Flock worker's lung - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flock_worker's_lung

    Flock worker's lung is an occupational lung disease caused by exposure to flock, small fibers that are glued to a backing in order to create a specific texture.People who work in flocking are at risk of inhaling small pieces of the flock fibers, which causes interstitial lung disease. [1]

  4. Microplastics and human health - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microplastics_and_human_health

    The effects of microplastics on human health are a growing concern and an actively increasing area of research. Tiny particles known as microplastics (MPs), have been found in various environmental and biological matrices, including air, water, food, and human tissues.

  5. Plastic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic

    Plastic fragmentation into microplastics and nanoplastics can allow chemical additives to move in the environment far from the point of use. Once released, some additives and derivatives may persist in the environment and bioaccumulate in organisms. They can have adverse effects on human health and biota.

  6. Thermoplastic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoplastic

    Polypropylene sheets are used for stationery folders and packaging and clear storage bins. Polypropylene is defined by the recyclable plastic number 5. Although relatively inert, it is vulnerable to ultraviolet radiation and can degrade considerably in direct sunlight. Polypropylene is not as impact-resistant as the polyethylenes (HDPE, LDPE).

  7. Olefin fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olefin_fiber

    Olefin fiber is a synthetic fiber made from a polyolefin, such as polypropylene or polyethylene.It is used in wallpaper, carpeting, [1] ropes, and vehicle interiors. Olefin's advantages are its strength, colorfastness and comfort, its resistance to staining, mildew, abrasion, and sunlight, and its good bulk and cover.

  8. Plastic degradation by marine bacteria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastic_degradation_by...

    Plastic degradation in marine bacteria describes when certain pelagic bacteria break down polymers and use them as a primary source of carbon for energy. Polymers such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) are incredibly useful for their durability and relatively low cost of production, however it is their persistence and difficulty to be properly ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_textiles

    Polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB) treated CVC fabric (fabric with chief value cotton) kills 94% of the coronavirus in two hours. Henceforth, it is suitable for PPE for health workers. [61] Chitosan, a natural polymer that is biocompatible, non-allergenic, biodegradable, and non-toxic, was also looked at for its antiviral properties.
