Ua lilo mākou i ka nalo no nā huaʻōlelo ma ke ʻano hele hewa a me ka lawena o nā pūʻali koa US i hoʻonoho ʻia ma Okinawa Prefecture.
Ma kahi neʻe kupaianaha, ua hoʻokuʻu ka US Marine Corps i ka hopena o ka mahina i hala aku nei ma kahi o 64,000 liters o ka wai i piha i ka perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), kahi hui waiū perfluorinated, mai kona Air Station Futenma, i ka prefecture, i loko o ka ʻōnaehana wai.
Ua hoʻohana mua ʻia ʻo PFOS i ka pahū ahi a me nā huahana ʻē aʻe. Ma waena o nā hopohopo e piʻi nei e hiki i ka PFOS ke hōʻeha nui i nā meaola kanaka a me ke kaiapuni, pāpā ʻia ka hana a me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā mea kemika i kēia manawa, ma ke kānāwai.
Ua hoʻokokoke aku ka pūʻali koa US i nā luna Kepani me kahi hoʻolālā e hoʻokuʻu i ka wai PFOS i kala ʻia ma ke kumu he kumu kūʻai nui loa ia e hoʻopau ʻia e ke ahi. A hoʻokuʻu lākou i ka wai i hoʻokahi ʻaoʻao ʻoiai ke hoʻomau nei ke kamaʻilio ʻana o nā aupuni o nā aupuni ʻelua i kēia mea.
Kūpono ʻole ka hana.
ʻO ke aupuni o Iapana, ʻo ia ka hapalua o ka puʻuwai e pili ana i nā mea like no ka makaʻu i ka hōʻoluʻolu ʻole o nā luna o US, ua hōʻike koke i ka minamina i ka hoʻomohala ʻana i kēia manawa. Ua ʻae kuikahi ka ʻaha prefectural ʻo Okinawa i kahi hoʻonā e kūʻē ai i ke aupuni US a me kāna pūʻali koa.
Ua wehewehe ka pūʻali koa US i ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana ʻaʻohe mea makaʻu no ka mea ua hana ʻia ka wai e hoʻoliʻiliʻi i ka nui o kāna PFOS i nā pae haʻahaʻa ma mua o ka hoʻolei ʻia ʻana.
Eia nō naʻe, ua ʻōlelo ke aupuni kūlanakauhale o Ginowan, kahi i kū ai ke keʻena lewa, ua loaʻa kahi laʻana hoʻowaiwai i loko o nā mea ʻona, e like me PFOS, ma mua o 13 mau manawa o ka pahuhopu pahuhopu i hoʻonohonoho ʻia e ke aupuni waena no ka mālama ʻana i ka maikaʻi o ka wai. i nā kahawai a me nā wahi ʻē aʻe.
Pono ʻo Tokyo e kāhea i nā luna o US no ka wehewehe maopopo e pili ana i kēia mea.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻia e ke Kuhina Kaiapuni i ka makahiki i hala aku nei ua mālama ʻia he 3.4 miliona mau lita o ka pahū ahi i loko o PFOS ma nā pūnaewele ma waena o Iapana, e like me nā keʻena ahi, nā kahua o ka Pūʻali Pale Kaua a me nā kahua mokulele. Ua lūlū ʻia nā ʻōpala ahi like i ka wā o kahi ulia ma Pepeluali ma Air SDF Naha Air Base ma Okinawa Prefecture, kekahi o kēlā mau pūnaewele mālama.
I kahi hoʻolālā ʻokoʻa, ua ʻike ʻia i kēia manawa ua ʻike ʻia nā mea poke me PFOS i ka nui o nā waihona wai ma nā kahua o Naha Air Base. Ua ʻōlelo ke Kuhina Hoʻomalu ʻo Nobuo Kishi, i ka pane, e loaʻa iā ia nā hoʻokolohua like i mālama ʻia ma nā kahua SDF ma Iapana.
ʻO nā hihia ʻelua i nā mea kūpono ʻole e nānā pono ʻole ʻia. Pono e mālama koʻikoʻi ʻia ka Ministry Defense no ka hoʻokele lax.
ʻLelo ʻia, hiki ke kiʻi ʻia nā kumu SDF no nā noiʻi. I ka wā e pili ana i nā pūʻali koa US ma Iapana, eia nō naʻe, mālama paʻa ʻia nā luna Kepani i ka pouli e pili ana i ka nui o nā mea ʻona i loaʻa iā lākou a pehea e lawelawe ai i kēlā mau mea.
ʻO ia no ka mea ʻo ka luna hoʻomalu ma luna o nā pūʻali koa US ma Iapana e moe pū ana me nā pūʻali koa US ma lalo o ke kūlana o ka ʻaelike Kuikahi. Ua mālama ʻia kahi ʻaelike kuʻina e pili ana i ka mālama ʻana i ke kaiapuni i ka makahiki 2015, akā ʻo ka mākaukau o nā luna Kepanī i kēlā kahua ka mea kānalua.
ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ua koi ke aupuni kikowaena a me ke aupuni prefectural ʻo Okinawa, i nā manawa he nui mai ka 2016, e komo i ka pā o ka US Kadena Air Base no nā nānā ma luna, no ka mea, ua ʻike ʻia ka PFOS i nā kiʻekiʻe ma waho o ka waihona. Eia naʻe, ua hōʻole ʻia nā koi e ka pūʻali koa US.
Ua kāhea ke aupuni prefectural i kahi hoʻololi i nā lula pili no laila e ʻae ʻia nā luna Kepani e komo koke i ka kahua o nā kahua koa US no ka mea ua loaʻa mau ʻo PFOS a puni nā kahua o US i ka prefecture, me Kadena hoʻi.
ʻAʻole kau palena ʻia ka nīnau iā Okinawa Prefecture wale nō. Ua ala aʻe kekahi mau hihia like ma Iapana a puni, me US Yokota Air Base ma ke komohana o Tokyo, ma waho a PFOS i ʻike ʻia ai i nā luawai.
E kūkākūkā ke aupuni o Iapana me Wakinekona no ka pane ʻana i ka hopohopo o ka lehulehu no kēia mea.
Ua hōʻole ka pūʻali koa ʻAmelika i ka ʻae ʻana i nā kūʻē no ka hoʻokuʻu hou ʻia ʻana o ka wai i hoʻohaumia ʻia a ʻae wale nō e hui me kahi luna kiʻekiʻe o ke aupuni prefectural Okinawa i kā lākou i kapa ai he kūkaʻi manaʻo.
ʻAʻohe hiki ke hoʻomaopopo ʻia kēlā lawena. ʻO ka hana lima kiʻekiʻe o ka pūʻali koa US e hoʻonui ai i ka wāwahi ma waena o lākou a me nā Okinawans a hoʻokau i ka hilinaʻi ʻole o ka hope i kahi mea pau ʻole.
