Q3. Consider the following statements with respect to Polymer sponge:
1. Polymer sponge is developed using waste products from the petroleum and refining industries.
2. This application can consume excess waste sulphur that is stockpiled around the globe.
Which of the above statements are correct?

Which of the above statements are correct?
The correct option is C c) Both 1 and 2
Scientists have developed a polymer sponge, using waste products from the petroleum and refining industries, that can quickly soak up crude oil from marine spills.
The polymer made from waste cooking oil and sulphur (a by-product of the petroleum industry) could make polluted beaches, oily water, dead birds and marine life destruction a thing of the past.
This is an entirely new and environmentally beneficial application for polymers made from sulphur. This application can consume excess waste sulphur that is stockpiled around the globe and may help mitigate the perennial problem of oil spills in aquatic environments
