most people thought simply letting sunlight into a house and allowing 80s to 90s white plastic to bathe in sunlight will turn them yellow after a few years

it was more complicated though

most white plastics contained bromide which stops them from catching fire, there were also a few white plastic types not having bromide in it, and those did not turn yellow..

because bromide was a health hazard (altough getting it into your system by touching plastic is not a likely scenario) they stopped using it in the year 2001 and as a consequence white plastic made since 2001, will not turn yellow

Most chemicals they stopped using are less about the safety of the general public, and more about the safety of factory workers who have to handle it for prolonged periods of time

That was an interesting read

Basically this, asbestos was banned more because of the factory workers constantly dying than the health risks of the actual asbestos installations, although that obviously aided to getting the ban.
I still remember how when I was a kid and I got an scratch or some other wound, they would put mercromina in the wound, later it was betadine and now it's just a colorless spray.

Urethane will still turn yellow
