When I studied color and its effect on joy, I wondered: Why is there such a gap between the colors that make us feel energetic, and the colors that surround us?“
28、Chromophobia,” was the immediate answer I received when I posed this question to Peter Stamberg and Paul Aferiat, architects of Saguaro Hotel in California. “People are afraid of color. Its the fear of making a choice, of making a mistake and having to live with it.”I could relate. I used to be such

However, it is difficult for parents to figure out how to avoid plastic toys cont
37、aining chemicals that may cause possible health risks to their children. For the most part, regulations and international lists of “chemicals of concern” in toys focus on certain substance groups with known harmful properties, but do not cover the wider range of chemicals found in plastic toys.Resea
38、rchers from DTU and the University of Michigan together with UN Environment have looked into this important issue, analyzed data on chemical functions and amounts found in plastic toys, and quantified related children exposure and potential health risks. “Out of 419 chemicals found in hard, soft and
39、 foam plastic materials used in children toys, we identified 126 substances that can potentially harm childrens health either via cancer or non-cancer effects. These substances should be avoided in toy materials and replaced with safer and more sustainable alternatives,” says Peter Fantke, Professor
40、 at DTU Management.Many lists have existed that inform about “chemicals of concern” across product and material applications. However, what is currently missing is any information about the levels at which the use of chemicals in the different applications would be safe and sustainable. Peter Fantke
41、 explains, “Since the same chemicals can be found in different concentrations across toy materials, we have estimated the maximum acceptable chemical content (MACC) for all the substances reported to be found in plastic toys. Such information will help toy companies to evaluate the amount of chemica
42、ls used for a specific function against such standards.”For parents, it will continue to be difficult to avoid using plastic toys that can contain harmful chemicals, until regulators include all substances, and address exposure to toys. A good piece of advice from the researchers is hence to reduce
43、the consumption of plastic materials in general, avoid the use of soft plastic toys, and remember to allow fresh air to enter and move around your childrens rooms well every day.12.
