- userbinator 3y agoA carbon-carbon bond is 0.154nm, and the polymer chain lengths of common plastics are in the few hundred to tens of thousands. If those are a "serious threat", then I wonder what they think of petroleum jelly... which is basically the same structure with much shorter chains, and is even more reactive! How much chemistry knowledge some of these fearmongers have is highly dubious.
