play structures and Magic Erasers
Today I learned that the plastic used in those play structures I fussed about last Sunday is actually polyethylene, which is the safest kind. Last week, I was detecting the chemicals used on the kids. So, holy cow. And I could still smell the rubber sidewalks if they were in the sun.
In other news, people worry that Mr. Clean Magic Erasers could have formaldehyde in them. I'm confident that I could clear that up by sniffing one, but if people are worrying about easily detectable (for me) formaldehyde levels, I suspect they have a lot more to worry about if they wear polyester (e.g. polar fleece), wrinkle-free treated cottons, or sleep with a puffy, polyester-filled comforter. Or, say, have wall-to-wall carpet.
Not sure how to identify the fabric in something you cut the label off? Good news! It says here you can burn it, and that'll help you figure it out.
