Why do the squishies that kids love to play with become brittle, cracked, and emit strange odors after long exposure to sunlight?
The answer lies in a scientific process called Photo-oxidation.
UV light carries enough energy to react with the materials, causing them to degrade and release certain volatile organic chemicals.
Today, we’ve summarized the reaction steps and the chemicals to watch out for in an easy-to-understand single image! Feel free to save and share this with your loved ones.
