I ka pule i hala aku nei, ua hoʻokuʻu ka ʻaha hoʻokele wai o ka Kalepona o Kaleponi i nā ʻikepili i hōʻiliʻili ai i ka hoʻomākaū ʻana o PFAS ma nā luawai ma ka mokuʻāina. Ua hōʻike ʻia ka mea i ʻike ʻia e pili ana i ka PFAS, ka mea nāna i nānā i kā lākou ʻikepili.
Ua hoʻāʻo ka mokuʻāina no 14 o nā ʻano ʻo 5,000 o PFAS, a me kekahi o nā ʻano nui kaulana i kaulana e hoʻoweliweli aku i ke olakino kanaka, PFOS a me PFOA.
Na ke Kōmike wai e kuhikuhi i ka lehulehu i kēia ʻaoʻao ma PFAS. Pane ʻia ka poʻe i skoho i ka ʻaoʻao "Wai inu" a laila "Nā hopena hoʻāʻo wai wai lehulehu," akā ʻaʻole hiki ke loaʻa nā hopena hou ma ka hoʻāʻo PFAS i kēia ala. No ka ʻike ʻana i ka ʻikepili PFAS holoʻokoʻa i loko o ka format excel, pono ka lehulehu e ʻike i ka mea e nānā a kuhikuhi ʻia ai e nā limahana. No ka hoʻokomo ʻana i ka ʻikepili PFAS maka, me ke komo ʻana i ka "Holo mua o ka PFAS sampling" e hopena i ka helu ʻelima e pili ana i kahi loulou ma ka papa wahi o ka excelet: "PFAS Ka Naʻaupō np TP. ” Loaʻa i ka pākaukau he 9,130 lālani o ka ʻikepili, e lilo ana i mea paʻakikī no ka lehulehu inu wai e wehewehe - inā hiki ke loaʻa.
ʻAʻole i hoʻihoʻi ʻo Blair Robertson, ka luna o ka lehulehu o ka Pūnaewele i ka wai no kēia moʻolelo, akā ua haʻi ʻia nā mea kāhea i ka keʻena wai wai i ka ʻikepili āpau.
I kēia manawa, kahi papa kuhikuhi e hoʻohui i nā ʻike o ka Papa Hoʻolaha ma o LA Times hoʻopuka wale ʻia nā ʻikepili ma PFOS / PFOA a hiki ʻole ke hōʻano ʻia i ka hoʻohālikelike ʻia e nā ʻano pilikia ʻē aʻe o PFAS.
ʻOiai ʻo PFOS a me PFOA nā mea kaulana loa o ka PFAS, nā mea kanu āpau PFAS paʻakikī ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi loa i ke ola kino kanaka i kekahi mau manaʻo. Ua hoʻāʻo ʻo Kalepona i nā pūnāwai 568 no PFOS a me PFOA, a me kēia mau ʻano huaʻōlelo 12 o PFAS:
Mai ʻae i nā maka o nā maka. ʻO ka hoʻohana ʻana i kēia mau mea kanu i ka wai inu ma nā hapa liʻiliʻi ʻoi aku paha ke kumu ʻole o kāu keiki hānau mua ʻole e pale aku i ka hānā a i ʻole e hōʻeha paha i nā pilikia hanana. Inu i kēia wai a hiki iā ia ke komo i ka testicular, ate, a me nā maʻi pēpē, a i hōʻemi ʻia nō ka pale ʻana i nā maʻi make.
No laila ua huhū ia i ka ʻike ʻana i ka LA Times hāʻawi i nā heluʻepekea i ka lehulehu ma o ka palapala hōʻike e hōʻike ana i ka huina no PFOS / PFOA.
ʻO nā pūnāwai 568 i hoʻohālikelike ʻia, 308 (54.2%) i loaʻa i nā ʻano mea likeʻole PFAS.
Loaʻa nā ʻāpana 19,228 i ka trillion (ppt) o nā ʻano 14 o PFAS i hoʻāʻo ʻia ma kēlā mau pūnāwai 308. ʻO 51% paha PFOS a i ʻole PFOA aʻo 49% ka koina aia nō nā PFAS ʻē aʻe i hōʻike ʻia ma luna o nā mea i ʻike ʻia he hopena maikaʻi loa i ke ola o ke kanaka.
E koho i nā meaʻawaʻawa.
He US, Environmental Protection Agency, (EPA) i ke ola ʻana i ka Lifetime Health Advisory o nā ʻāpana 70 i ka trillion no PFOS / PFOA. Ke waiho ʻia nei nā pae PFOS / PFOA ma luna o 70 ppt, ua pani ʻia nā luawai ma Kaleponi, ʻoiai ʻaʻole i waiho ʻia nā lāʻau PFAS i kēia mau palena. Pākuʻi aku ʻo ke kaiāulu ua lahilahi loa ka paepae kuokoa o ka EPA, me ke kii ana aole e oi loa aku ka wai inu 1 ppt o kekahi mau kemana PFAS.
Ke ʻoki ʻole nei kahi EPA federal proactive, e holo nei nā ʻāina ma ka ʻāina e hoʻokū i nā pae poloka nui loa (MCL's) no nā ʻano PFAS ma 10 ppt a 20 ppt pae ma ka lua wai a me ka wai inu. Ua kūkulu hou ʻia ʻo Kaleponi Nā Papa Palekana - no PFOS a me PFOA wale nō - ma 6.5 ppt a me 5.1 ppt i ka wai inu pākahi. Hoʻolaha nā pae hoʻolaha i kekahi mau koi no nā mea hāʻawi wai, ʻoiai e hoʻomau ka lehulehu i ka inu ʻana i ka wai.
ʻO ka pālahalaha ma lalo, i lawe ʻia mai ka ʻikepili a ka Papa Wai, hōʻike i nā hopena o 23 mau luawai Kaleponi i hoʻāʻo e ʻoi aku ma mua o ka ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo a ka EPA o 70 mau ʻāpana pākahi no PFOS / PFOA.
No nā hōʻike 23 ma luna, "PFAS" ka nui o 49% o ka huina. Loaʻa ʻehiku o nā hoʻohālike wai i ʻike ʻia ma Corona, ka home no kahi lāʻau hana 3M.
E kauoha ka pūnaewele ʻo LA Times i ka lehulehu e komo i ka inoa o ko lākou kūlanakauhale i kahi wahi hulina. Ke hana nei no ka Burbank e hoʻopuka i kahi palapala aʻe:
Hōʻike ka kiʻikuhi ʻo LA Times i nā pū he ʻumi ma Burbank me ka nānā ʻole ʻana o ka PFOS / PFOA, ke alakaʻi nei i nā mea he nui e manaʻo i ka maikaʻi o ka wai. ʻAʻole hiki i ka LA Times ke hāʻawi i ka lehulehu i ka komo ʻana i nā mea i laʻa ʻia e nā maʻi PFAS ʻē aʻe i loaʻa i ka wai wai.
E hōʻike ana kahi ʻike loiloi ʻana i ka pāpū kanu kanu i kēia mau helu inoa no Burbank:
ʻO Burbank Pono iā OU ʻO VO-1 ua hona ʻia me ka 108.4 ppt o kēia mau ʻano PFAS:
PERFLUOROHEXANE SULFONIC ACID (PFHxS) 20 ppt
PERFLUOROHEXANOIC ACID (PFHxA) 69
PERFLUOROBUTANESULFONIC ACID (PFBS) 10
PERFLUOROHEPTANOIC ACID (PFHpA) 9.4
Heʻuʻuku ka manaʻo e pili ana i kēia mau mea kanu a ʻo ia ka no ka mea ma mua o ke aloha ʻoihana me ka EPA i hōʻike ʻole ʻia Pono ʻo Kaleponi e alakaʻi i ka pale ʻana i ke ola olakino.
Weliweli kēia mau kemika, a pono e hoʻoponopono pono ʻia kā lākou pae a hōʻike ʻia i ka lehulehu e nā mokuʻāina āpau a me ke aupuni pekelala. Waiho ʻia i ke Kōmike Loiloi Organic Pollutants hoʻomau o ka Ka ʻaha hoʻokō ʻo Stockholm hōʻike i kēia mau ʻike no PFHxS. (Ua hiki ʻole i ka US ke hoʻopiʻi i kēia kuʻikahi koʻikoʻi.)
- Ua ʻike ʻia ka PFHxS ma ke koko umbilical cord a lawe ʻia i ka embryo i kahi kaʻoi loa aku ma mua o ka mea i hōʻike ʻia no ka PFOS.
- Ua hōʻike kahi noiʻi i kahi pilina ma waena o nā pae serum o PFHxS a me nā pae serum o ka kolesterol, lipoproteins, triglycerides a me nā waikawa momona momona.
- Ua hōʻike ʻia nā hopena ma ke ala hormone thyroid no PFHxS i nā haʻawina epidemiological.
- ʻO ka hōʻike Prenatal i ka PFHxS e pili ana i ka loaʻa ʻana o nā maʻi lēpa (e like me ka ottis media, pneumonia, virus virus a me varicella) i ke ola mua.
A ʻo ia wale nō kekahi o nā kemika “PFAS” ʻē aʻe ma Burbank. E ʻike i nā ʻike kumumea no: PFHxA, PFBS a PFHpA.
Ua huapoia ka wai puna o Burbank.
Inā e noho kokoke ana kekahi i nā pūnāwai me nā kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe o PFAS, ʻaʻole pono ke kumu o ka wai pā i hiki mai i kēlā kumu, ʻoiai naʻe paha ia. Eia nō kekahi, inā ka wai mai ka wai mai ka wai mai me nā luawai he nui, ʻaʻole ʻike ka lehulehu i ka puna maoli o ka wai a lākou e inu ai. E hoʻomaka ka poʻe e kamaʻilio pū me kā lākou lawelawe lawelawe wai a mai nā wahine hāpai ʻaʻole e inu i ka wai pā me ka nui loa o PFAS. ʻAʻole hiki i ka hapa nui o nā hoʻomaʻemaʻe wai.
Ua hoʻāʻo ʻo ka Papa Hoʻonaʻāina Kaleponi o Kaleponi i nā kahua kaiāulu, nā kahua ʻōpala piha kaiāulu, a me nā wai inu wai i loko o kahi radioc 1 mile ma mua o ka pūnāwai i ʻike mua ʻia he PFAS. ʻAʻole kēia mau kaua koa i ka hopena o kēia hoʻokolokolo, ʻoiai hoʻokahi kumu, ʻo Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake ua hoʻohaumia i kahi puna ma 8,000,000 ppt. no ka PFOS / PFOA, mamuli o ka DOD. Eia kekahi, hōʻike ka DOD i loaʻa i Kaleponi Hoʻokomo pū ʻia ka pūʻali koa 598 me nā pūnaewele i hoʻopaʻa ʻia e 5,819, akā, ʻaʻole i loaʻa ka ʻikepili no ka PFAS ma ka hapa nui o kēia mau pūnaewele.
ʻ sayslelo aku ʻo Anna Reade o ka ʻĀina Kūlohelohe Kaiapuni maoli e hoʻomāhuahua i ka papa wai i kona neʻe ʻūlū ma PFOS a me PFOA. "ʻO ka noʻonoʻo ʻana i ʻelua lāʻau ma ka ulu lāʻau aneane ʻo 5,000 e hoʻohālikelike i ka hiki i ka moku'āina ke loaʻa i ke kiʻi holoʻokoʻa o ka pilikia a i ʻole ka hoʻomohala pono ʻana i nā hopena ākea i ka pilikia," kākau ʻo ia.
ʻO ka manawa kēia e ala a honi i ke kofe - ma Burbank - a ma ka mokuʻāina holoʻokoʻa. Mai inu wale a ʻike ʻoe ʻaʻole haumia ia me nā kemika PFAS.
