I have been avoiding food contained in Styrofoam for many years because I always don't feel good about it. My impression about Styrofoam used in old times was that when they were compressed or deformed with a slight force by hand it would break partially into granules which was undoubtedly a...

If a rechargeable Lithium battery is new and not used for a few years, will it degrade much slower or as fast as the one that is regularly used, charged and discharged? What if I only start to use it after a few years for the first time, will the battery already degrade so badly

I like using polypropylene dishware e.g. spoon, and storage box. I can see that from its label sometimes the maximum temperature recommended is 110 degree C or 120 degree C but it usually doesn't go away from this range. By common sense, I will never heat the polypropylene dishware directly but...

when two things rub against each other, it is likely that atoms may lose or exchange from the surface, right? In kitchen, abrasive sponge and scrubber is very commonly used, if you normally clean by scrubbing a cookware or dishware with a sponge or scrubber, could it lose some atoms or chemicals...

By the way, how bad if we take in chemicals surrounding us consciously? e.g. tiny paint falls from the wall onto the food you don't see, people rub their hands with alcohol gel and some remains on their hand and touch or prepare food and you eat it, endless daily examples that you can imagine

One day I cooked and found a tiny bug in the hot pot, I really did not know how it fell into it and I know that it was simply a matter of luck to find it, then I start to realize that I may have eaten many bugs over the years unknowingly. Bottom line, how bad would they be?

Did you mean microfiber product is only harmful when it is decomposed/degraded/broken down into tiny solids and goes into our lungs, but in normal case, it is not harmful?

I happened to see a line of text on Google with knowledge I didn't know. Yes, microfiber can be toxic. It's made from polyester and other synthetic materials that can release chemicals, such as phthalates and formaldehyde, into the air. I know that microfiber is very commonly used in daily...

I'd like to but our house is old, so using new kind of lamp wil I'm not sure what kind of lamp it is not the old type egg-like bulb, I think it isn't LED either because on the box of the replacement bulb there isn't any terms "LED"

I had a lamp that was good for 10 years but two years ago it was burnt out, I replaced it and in this two years we have a naughty kid playing with it, it is burnt out recently again. Is it likely due to his behavior (switch it ON and OFF within short time) or quality of light bulb in recent...

I don't think it is a cheap one, but not a decent one though. It fell off from the desk by accident when it was connected to anything. I think this kind of things are not too fragile, but wish to know if it would cause problems to the appliance if used to power them. This is a trade-off between...

How bad was it? Overheated?

I'd like to know, if wires and connections inside electric socket of power strip are tough or fragile by design?

I have a power strip that has fallen from height accidentally for a couple of times, there is no observable crack or damage, however, could this lead to bad contacts or anything bad to the electrical/electronic appliance? I'm thinking if the power cable inside is usually well attached

I have a switch home that is not easy to press and sometimes if I forget to press it hard enough it will stay in the midway for a few seconds but I always push it to ON or OFF soon. Could this cause any problem to my electrical or electronics appliance?
