I wanted to do an experiment for school and for one part I was wondering whether it is safe and or possible to melt a plastic shopping bag to form a liquid.
How do I heat it in an area with NO oxygen?!!!

Why do my fingers swell up in large shopping centers?

My wife and I went to the Trafford Center in Manchester today. After afew minutes inside we both noticed that our fingers had swelled up! As soon as we left, a few hours later, both of our hands started to return to normal.
Anyone know why? Is it to do with a lower pressure inside the large shopping center?
