    The purpose of this study is to clarify thermal characteristics of medical care wigs worn by the patients who lost their hair resulting from side effects of cancer treatment. Thermal resistance of six short hair wigs was measured using a thermal manikin. Comfort level, temperature and humidity were also measured inside the wig worn under a summer environment by ten male subjects with shaven heads. The results are as follows: (1) Sensible heat resistance value, with average of around 0.06 (℃· m²/W), showed little difference by wigs. Evaporative heat resistance value, with average of around 0.07 (kPa· m²/W), showed higher value in the wigs with higher ratio of synthetic hair. (2) Nine out of ten subjects, who maintained a stationary position wearing the wigs in an artificial environment enhancing sweat, reported that they felt their head hot, while eight felt stuffy. Average temperature and average relative humidity inside the wig were 36.5℃ and 80%, respectively.

    The purpose of this study is to construct an international scale to assess how strongly a sentence emphasizes the risk of chemicals. First, 30 kinds of Japanese text representation relating to beauty and cosmetics were examined and the score was compared with that of Chinese version. As a result, high correlation was observed between the two countries. Subsequently, six items were chosen as a standard scale on the basis of closeness between Japanese scores and Chinse ones. Risk emphasis score of Japanese books was evaluated using the standard scale, and the result showed that the risk of surfactant tends to be emphasized in Japanese books and the risk of mercury tended to be emphasized in Chinese books.
