trust me, bro:

here is the receipt.

the claim

ABS plastic turns yellow due to UV-induced photo-oxidation of its butadiene component.

the verdict

SUPPORTED

the evidence backs this

confidence 81/100

Scientific literature confirms that exposure of ABS plastic to ultraviolet radiation induces photo-oxidation, leading to chemical degradation and discoloration.
