Question
State one disadvantage of using synthetic fibres for making clothes.
✓

Answer

Synthetic fibers are different from the natural fibers. They melt on heating. If the clothes made of synthetic fibers catch fire, it can be very dangerous. The fabric will melt and can stick to the body of the person wearing it. Hence, we should not wear synthetic clothes while working in a kitchen or working in a laboratory.
