ʻIke ʻia ka pūʻali koa a me ke kīwila i nā kemika hoʻomake i ka maʻi maʻi i loko o nā mea hoʻololi, ka pahu ahi, a me ka lepo i nā keʻena ahi. ʻO ka hoʻāʻo ʻana i ke koko ka hana mua i ka pale ʻana i ka maʻi.
ʻEhā mahina i hala mai ka hoʻolaha ʻana o Alakaʻi ma ka PFAS hōʻike a me nā hopena olakino, he haʻawina e ka National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, Medicine, (National Academies). ʻO ka National Academies nā hui ʻAmelika mua i hana ʻia e Pelekikena Lincoln i ka makahiki 1863 e noiʻi i nā pilikia i ka ʻepekema no ke aupuni US.
Manaʻo ka National Academies i nā hoʻāʻo koko a me ka nānā ʻana i nā lāʻau lapaʻau no ka poʻe i ʻike nui ʻia i nā kemika ʻona i ʻike ʻia he per-and poly fluoroalkyl substances, (PFAS). Kūkākūkā ka National Academies i ka pono koʻikoʻi e hiki aku i ka poʻe i ʻike ʻia ma nā ala ʻoihana, ʻoi aku ka poʻe puhi ahi.
Ke hoʻolohe nei kekahi?
ʻO ka PFAS bioaccumulate i loko o ko mākou kino, ʻo ia hoʻi, ʻaʻole lākou e wāwahi a ʻaʻole lākou e hala iā mākou, e like me ka hapa nui o nā toxins. ʻO ia ka mea e hoʻokaʻawale ai i ka PFAS mai nā carcinogens ʻē aʻe i ko mākou kaiapuni.
He nui nā mea puhi ahi, me nā poʻe i hoʻomaha i nā makahiki i hala aku nei, ua hoʻokiʻekiʻe paha lākou i nā pae PFAS i ko lākou koko mai ka ʻike ʻana i nā carcinogens mai ka turnout gear, ke ahi ahi, a me ka ea a me ka lepo i nā keʻena ahi a me nā hangars mokulele.
Ua hoʻopili ʻia ka hoʻolaha ʻana o PFAS i nā maʻi maʻi e hiki mai ana, ʻoiai ke hoʻomau nei nā haʻawina koʻikoʻi, (E nānā i nā loulou ma lalo)
