Black-coloured plastic used in children’s toys, takeout containers, kitchen utensils and grocery meat and produce trays may contain alarming levels of toxic flame retardants that may be leaching from electronic products during recycling, a new study found. “A product with one of the highest levels of flame retardants were black plastic pirate coin beads that kids wear — they resemble Mardi Gras beads but more for costume wear,” said lead study author Megan Liu, science and policy manager for Toxic-Free Future, an environmental advocacy group. “That particular product had up to 22,800 parts per million of total flame retardants — that’s almost three per cent by weight,” Liu said. “Kids will often play with toys multiple days in a row until they tire of them.”

When we set off on a car ride, we might not think about the chances of an accident, or any other risks – including the potentially dangerous materials that researchers have found in 99 percent of cabins tested in vehicles manufactured in the US since 2015. These materials are fitted to meet flame retardant safety standards, but according to the US and Canadian team behind the new study, their inclusion may be causing more harm than good. They're now asking for a rethink on the inclusion of these substances. "Our research found that interior materials release harmful chemicals into the cabin air of our cars," says environmental scientist Rebecca Hoehn from Duke University. "Considering the average driver spends about an hour in the car every day, this is a significant public health issue."

How To Extinguish A Phoenix

Phoenix: ACHOO! (bursts into flames)

Me: (sprays down with fire extinguisher)

Phoenix: (sniff) . . . I think that-ah-ACHOO (combusts again)

Me: (sprays again) We might need to switch extinguishers here soon.

Phoenix: Already?! Just let me di-ah-ah . . . ! No, lost that one. Anyway, just let me die, then!

Me: Not a chance, buddy! You told me no matter what, don’t let you burn to ash, because a cold isn’t as bad as spending six months regrowing your feathers. Focus on that! The meds should kick in soon! And I’m not giving your deposit back!

Pheonix: I knooow, but I haaate thiiis . . . ah-ah-AH—!

Me: (sprays)

Phoenix: (sputtering) At least wait until I’m ACTUALLY on fire!

Me: (sheepish) Sorry. I got excited.

Phoenix: So glad you’re enjoying yourself!

Me: Look, I do not care how much you paid me: Dodging flammable pheonix snot is not how I like to pass my time. But fire extinguishers are fun, and if we’re both going to be miserable, I don’t see why we shouldn’t relish what little joy is to be had here.

Phoenix: . . . That’s fair, I guess.

Me: Tell you what—if I catch on fire, you can spray ME down.

Phoenix: Aw, thanks. That’s really . . . ah . . . ah . . . ACHOO!!!

Me: (sprays)

Combining aesthetics with fire-resistance for improved wood protection

Wood is a popular material for construction and furniture making due to its availability, easy processing, and strong mechanical properties. However, its flammability poses significant risks, particularly in historical buildings. Despite progress in flame-retardant technologies, creating coatings that combine high transparency with fire resistance remains a challenge. These challenges underscore the urgent need for an effective, transparent, and eco-friendly fire-resistant coating for wooden materials. Researchers from the State Grid Sichuan Electric Power Research Institute and Sichuan University have developed a novel transparent intumescent flame-retardant coating. Their study, published in the Chinese Journal of Polymer Science, introduces a coating that integrates phosphorus, nitrogen, and silicon, creating a synergistic protective layer.

UPM heat shrink tubing, Versatility Insulation Protection Identification Connectivity

something that will always be kinda funny to me is that one of the biggest things that led to my trans awakening, becoming aware of my transness and going on to start using they/them pronouns...

is the tf2 pyro.

how their identity was discussed in fandom spaces, how infinite and varied pyro ocs were, how anything could be under that suit. i really liked that. and i fixated on that. and then i came out as nonbinary when i was 16.
