A hōʻike kikoʻī hou na ProPublica hōʻike i ke ʻano o ka hoʻomau ʻana o ka pūʻali koa US i nā ala palekana e luku ai i nā ʻōpala pōʻino ma nā wahi o ka ʻāina, a pehea e hoʻopilikia ai kēia hana i nā kaiāulu kokoke. ʻO ka moʻolelo, ʻo ia ka "mua o ka moʻolelo e nānā ana i ka nānā ʻana o ka Pentagon i nā kaukani mau wahi ʻona ma ka ʻāina ʻAmelika," e hōʻike ana i ke ʻano o ka "puhi ʻana i waho a me ka detonation ʻo ia ke ʻano alakaʻi alakaʻi o ka pūʻali koa no ka hana ʻana i nā munitions a me nā mea ʻino e pili ana."
Ua kākau ʻo Abraham Lustgarten:
ʻOi aku ma mua o ʻekolu mau makahiki i hala aku nei, ua pāpā ʻo Congress i nā ʻoihana ʻAmelika a me nā kamaʻāina mai ka hoʻolei ʻana i nā ʻōpala pōʻino i kēia mau ʻano o nā "puhi hāmama," me ka hoʻoholo ʻana i nā kaʻina hana ʻole i hoʻokumu ʻia i nā pōʻino olakino a me nā pōʻino kaiapuni. Ua koi ʻia nā ʻoihana i puhi ākea i nā ʻōpala no nā hanauna e hoʻokomo i nā insinerators me nā puʻupuʻu a me nā kānana a e mālama i nā palena paʻa i ka mea i hoʻokuʻu ʻia i ka lewa. Ua hāʻawi ka poʻe loio i ka Pentagon a me kāna mau ʻaelike i kahi manawa pōkole mai kēlā mau lula e hāʻawi i nā ʻenekinia manawa e hoʻoponopono i nā ʻano kūʻokoʻa o ka luku ʻana i nā ʻōpala pūʻali koa pahū.
Ua hoʻomau ʻia kēlā hoʻokuʻu ʻia mai ia manawa mai, e like me nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe o ke Komohana i ʻike pehea e luku ai i nā mea kaua kahiko me ka ʻole o nā mea ʻawaʻawa. ʻOiai ʻo nā luna o ʻAmelika e hoʻopaʻapaʻa ʻia e pili ana i ka nui o ka haumia mai ke ahi ākea ka palekana, ua hoʻomaka kēlā mau ʻāina i nā ala hou. ʻO Kelemania, no ka laʻana, ua luku aku i nā haneli miliona mau paona o nā mea kaua kahiko mai ka Cold War me ka ʻole o ka hilinaʻi ʻana i ke ahi ākea e hana ai.
Ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, ʻo ka puhi ʻana a me ka hoʻopau ʻana i waho ke ʻano alakaʻi alakaʻi o ka pūʻali koa no ka hana ʻana i nā pū a me nā ʻōpala pōʻino e pili ana. Ua mau nō ia ʻoiai ʻo kahi ʻōlelo hoʻoholo o ka US Senate i kahi hapaha o ke kenekulia i hala aku nei i kauoha i ka 'Oihana Defence e kāpae i ka hana "i ka hiki." Ua hoʻomau ʻia i mua o ka ulu ʻana o ka manaʻo ma waena o nā luna Pentagon a me nā ʻepekema e like me nā lua ahi like ma nā kahua US ma Iraq a me nā koa maʻi maʻi Afghanistan.
ʻIke ʻia nā moʻolelo Federal ma kahi o 200 mau pūnaewele i hoʻohana ʻia a i ʻole e hoʻohana ʻia ana e wehe i nā mea pahū pōʻino ma ka ʻāina. Hoʻopau kekahi i nā pōkā elemakule stockpile ma nā kula ākea. ʻO nā mea ʻē aʻe e puhi i nā pōkā, nā ʻāpana mea kaua a me nā mea pahū maka i loko o nā puʻu ahi. Ke hana nei nā keʻena ma lalo o nā ʻae aupuni kūikawā i manaʻo ʻia e mālama pono i ke kaʻina hana, e kaupalena ana i ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o nā toxins i nā pae ma lalo o ka mea a ke aupuni e manaʻo ai e maʻi ai ka poʻe. Akā naʻe, ʻae nā luna o ka Environmental Protection Agency, ka mea e hoʻokele nei i ke kaʻina hana ma lalo o ke kānāwai federal, e hāʻawi ʻia nā ʻae i ka pale liʻiliʻi.
Loaʻa iā ProPublica nā palapala EPA kūloko a nīnauele i nā luna he nui no kēia hōʻike noiʻi. Ua kākau ʻo Lustgarten ʻoiai ʻo ka Pentagon e pale aku i kāna mau hana ma ke ʻano he "kūpono" a "palekana," ʻo ka ʻōnaehana ʻo EPA no ka hoʻoholo ʻana i ka nui o ka puhi ʻana i nā kemika he ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi ma mua o nā kuhi aʻo.
"Ua nānā ʻo ProPublica i nā moʻolelo no nā wahi puhi ahi ikaika 51 a ʻoi aku ma mua o 145 ʻē aʻe ka Pentagon, kāna mau ʻaelike, a me nā ʻoihana pilikino ʻē aʻe i hana i ka wā ma mua, a ʻike lākou ua uhaki lākou i kā lākou ʻae ʻana i nā ʻōpala pōʻino i mau tausani mau manawa i nā makahiki 37 i hala, pinepine. no ka mālama pono ʻole ʻana a me ka hoʻolei ʻana i nā mea ʻawaʻawa, a i kekahi manawa no ka nui o nā paepae haumia," i hōʻike ai ʻo Lustgarten. "ʻAʻole i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka hapa nui o ka ʻike i hōʻiliʻili ʻia i ka lehulehu, e waiho ana i ka nui o ka pollution pili i ka pūʻali i kahi huna."
E heluhelu i ka hōʻike piha maanei, a e nānā i nā palapala ʻāina pili like maanei.
