EU members’states have agreed to ban a toxic substance widely found in clothing because it poses an“acceptable risk”to the environment.Countries voted in favor of extending existing restrictions on nonylphenol ethoxylates(NPE)to imports to clothing and other textile products.

The measure is intended to protect species in http://doc.guandang.nete of NPE in textile manufature in Europe was banned over10years ago but the substance is still released into the water environment through imported textiles being washed.

NPE degrades in the environment into substances including nonylphenol(NP),which accumulates in the bodies of fish and disturbs their hormones,harming fertility,growth and sexual development.

NPE is used in textile manufacture as a cleaning and dyeing agent.The EU decision notes that several studies have found NPE to be present in textile items.

A2011study by Greenpeace found NPE in two-thirds of clothes tested,including items sold by big-name brads such as Adidas,H&M,Lacoste,and Ralph Lauren.The NGO (Non-Governmental Organizations)argued that although concentrations of NPE found in the clothes were low,the chemical’s existence in the environment posed a risk.

The new ban on textiles containing NPE in concentrations equal to or greater than0.01% will enter into force five years after it is adopted by the European Commission,which is likely to happen in September.

In comments submitted to ECHA(European Chemicals Agency),clothing and textile firms have warned that obeying the restriction will be difficult because NPE ubiquitous in the supply chain and has numerous uses.

The new restriction will not apply to second-hand goods or recycled textiles because it is assumed that these will already have been washed several times so they contain negligible（微不足道的）amounts of NPE.

EU countries must eliminate pollution of water bodies by NP as it is a priority substance under the Water Framework Directive.A2013study by the UK environment agency warned

Brooke Martin’s golden retriever(金毛猎犬)Kayla hated being left alone or separated. She would howl,pace,and chew on things.Brooke learned that other people had the same problem with their pets.She wondered:“What if you could talk to your dog if you were gone?”

Working with her father in their garage,the16-year-old came up with several ideas. Finally,she invented a device that allowed pet owners to video chat with their pets!She calls the device iCPooch.“The dog doesn’t have to answer the call,”explains Brooke.“It comes up

immediately on the screen on their end.It’s a two-way audio and video—you can see and hear each other.”With a click of a button you can even send the dog a treat!

Her invention has earned her a spot competing against nine other finalists in a young scientist competition for middle-school students.These finalists,selected based on their short video presentations,are working with mentors over the summer before heading to the final competition in St.Paul,Minn.

After Martin’s video put her among the10finalists in the Discovery Education3M Young Scientist Challenge,she was paired with Delony Langer-Anderson,a product development scientist in3M’s consumer health care pision.―I just lead her down the product development path,Langer-Anderson told Live Science.This path includes guidance on how to test the potential product,which combines a video chat device that answers immediately on the dog’s end with a dog treat device the owner can remotely activate.

‘One thing I have thought about a lot is,what happens if while the device is on the floor, what if your dog knocks it over,or scratches the screen?’Martin said.She and Langer-Anderson discussed this,and Martin is now testing materials at a local dog shelter by taping them to the dog house floors to see how well they withstand sharp teeth and claws.

The finalists create models they can test,with the guidance from a mentor.Their projects include a fuel cell that transforms cut grass into electricity and an app that rewards drivers for not texting or http://doc.guandang.netnger-Anderson tries to help the students work through the scientific method,testing their hypothesis,in a determined way,―so the kids don’t get buried in data. she said.

A.“iCPooch”wins in a young scientist competition.

B.A16-year-old girl invents a device for dog hunger.
