Toxic toys and textiles on the decrease in EU stores

Thanks to efforts from China and improved EU policing, fewer toxic toys and skin-irritating textiles are making it onto Europe’s supermarket shelves, the European Union executive said Thursday.

The number of unsafe products banned, withdrawn or recalled from consumers last year, rose 13 percent to 2,244 products against the previous year, the European Commission announced. Chinese goods accounted for 58 percent of those products, down from 60 percent of unsafe products in 2009. “The Chinese government attaches great importance to consumer product safety,” said Beijing’s Minister Zhi Shuping of the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ). “We will strive to improve the quality and safety of Chinese products.”

Cornell fiber science team developing gas-trapping fabric

A new fabric that can selectively trap gases is being developed at Cornell University, in a breakthrough that promises to help protect soldiers and first responders from exposure to toxic chemicals. The garments use “metal organic framework molecules” and cellulose fibers that were assembled in Fiber Science Professor Juan Hinestroza’s lab to create the special cloth. Metal organic framework molecules, or MOFs, are clustered crystalline compounds that can be manipulated at the nanolevel – as small as one millionth of a millimeter – to create “cages” that are the exact same size as the gas they are trying to capture.
