He aha kāu wai, Pleasanton?

Na Pat Elder, Ianuali 23, 2020

Kuhi ʻia ka mea e ʻike ai ma ka East Bay Express akā ʻaʻole i loaʻa kahi pane.

ʻO ka wai puna ma Pleasanton, Kaleponi ua heleʻino loa a PFAS. No hea mai nei? 

ʻO ka moʻolelo a Brett Simpson's East Bay Express, Ke Kulanui o ka Waiwai Waiwai, (Ianuali 14) ʻaʻole i kūkākūkā piha  

Ua haʻi ka moʻolelo ma ka punaewele ʻo Pleasanton 8 he mau ʻāpana he 108 i kēlā me kēia trillion (ppt) o PFAS. ʻO ka wai i loaʻa he 250.75 ppt o nā carcinogens, e like me ka Papa Ola o Kaleponi. 

ʻO ka puni mua o ka laʻana PFAS no nā ʻōnaehana wai lehulehu - ʻApelila 1st a Iune 30th 2019

Hoʻowahāwahā pinepine nā pāpaho a me nā ʻōnaehana o ka wai e hōʻike i ke kū a me ke koʻikoʻi o nā mea polyfluoroalkyl "non-PFOS + PFOA" (PFAS) a huikau i ka lehulehu i nā ʻokoʻa ma waena o kēia a me ka PFOS kaulana a kaulana a PFOA. Per Fluoro Octane Sulphonic Acid (PFOS) a me Per Fluoro Octanoic Acid (PFOA) he ʻelua o 6,000 PFAS kemikino i hoʻomohala ʻia, a ua manaʻo ʻia lākou āpau he mea hoʻoweliweli i ke olakino kanaka.  

E hoʻāʻo hou i loko. ʻO ka PFOS a me PFOA ʻelua mau PFAS a ua maikaʻi lākou a pau.

Ua haʻi ʻia i ka Los Angeles Times kahi moʻolelo ma ʻOkakopa 2019, ʻO nā haneli haneli o nā pūnāwai i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma Kaleponi. Ua komo pū ka ʻatikala i kahi pä palapala'āina ka mea i hōʻike ʻole ʻia i ka maʻi PFAS ma waena o ka mokuʻāina. ʻO kahi laʻana, kaomi ma nā kiko ma ka palapala ʻāina no Pleasanton a ʻike wale ʻoe i nā helu e kūlike i ka PFOS a me ka PFOA haumia. ʻO lākou a pau he 123.75 ppt. Eia nō naʻe ke kaona, 127 ppt o ʻelima mau "PFAS" ʻē aʻe i loko o kāna wai, piha 250.75 ppt. Kaomi aku ma Burbank a ʻike ʻoe i ke kūlanakauhale ʻaʻohe ona haumia PFOS / PFOA; Eia nō naʻe, he 108.4 ppt o Burbank o nā kemika weliweli ʻē aʻe. 

ʻO PFBS, PFHpA, PFNA, PFHxA a me PFHxS i hōʻike i nā mea paʻa ma ka wai o Pleasanton i ʻoi aku i ka 5.1 ppt o ka mokuʻāina. hōʻike hoʻolaha no ka PFOA. Hōʻike ʻo PFHxS i kahi 77.5 ppt. Hoʻohana ʻia kēia mau mea kanu i nā mea kaua a me nā noi ʻana o nā ʻoihana. 

Mai kānalua kolohe lākou.  

Weliweli nā kemika PFAS āpau a ʻaʻole pono mākou e inu iā lākou. Wahi a nā luna olakino olakino lehulehu o ka lāhui he weliweli paha ka 1 ppt o PFAS i ke olakino lehulehu.  ʻO ka wahine hāpai i ka ʻāpana ʻo Pleasanton e ao koke ʻia e inu i ka wai me ka PFAS. 

Pono e hoʻoponopono pono ʻia nā pae PFAS i ka wai (wai inu a me ka wai lepo) a hōʻike pinepine ʻia i ka lehulehu e ke aupuni pekelala, nā mokuʻāina, a me nā aupuni kūloko. Waiho ʻia nā noiʻi i ke Kōmike Hoʻohālikelike Hoʻohui Hoʻohui Hoʻohui o ka Stockholm Convention hōʻike i kēia loaʻa no PFHxS i loaʻa i nā pae kiʻekiʻe i ka wai o Pleasanton. 

• 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 nā noiʻi i kahi pilina ma waena o nā pae serum o PFHxS a me nā pae serum o ka cholesterol, lipoproteins, triglycerides a me nā 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.

Ua hiki ʻole ka US ke hoʻopiʻi i ka Kuʻikahi ʻo Stockholm i ʻōlelo ʻia ma luna. ʻO kona ʻae ʻia e ʻona pōpilikia i lalo o ka nui o nā mea hoʻomohala piha i loko o ka politika.

Ma ka manawa like, ke hāʻawi nei ke aupuni US i ka ʻikepili nui loa i ka ʻike i ka lehulehu ma luna o kēia mau lāʻau ʻona. 

ʻo kahi laʻana,  Koiolakai,  he kumu kupaianaha i nānā i nā hopena o nā mea like e like me PFHxS, i hoʻokuʻu ʻia e NIH's, National Library of Medicine.  

Mea Hoʻomau ua hoʻopau ʻia hoʻi e NIH. Hāʻawi kēlā lawelawe i kahi palapala pili no ka loaʻa ʻana o nā pūnaewele hoʻokuʻu kemika ma waena o ka ʻāina. 

Hoʻokumu ʻia ka fox i ka henhouse.

Me ka EPA e noho ana ma nā ʻaoʻao i ka hōʻole ʻole ʻana i ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i nā lāʻau PFAS a me ka mokuʻāina o Kaleponi e huki ana i kona mau wāwae i ka hoʻokumu ʻana i nā pae moʻoʻai kiʻekiʻe no ka PFAS, pono no nā poʻe kānaka palupalu e like me Pleasanton e alakaʻi i ka pale ʻana i ke olakino lehulehu.

ʻO ke kaumaha, ʻokoʻa ʻokoʻa kēia i nā ʻōlelo a ke kūlanakauhale a me nā luna wai ma ʻō a puni ka ʻāina e nānā nei i ke aupuni pekelala a i ʻole ke aupuni mokuʻāina no nā hopena. ʻO kahi laʻana, ua ʻōlelo ʻo lālā o ka ʻAha Kūkā ʻO Pleasanton ʻo Jerry Pentin, "Pono mākou i ka mokuʻāina e alakaʻi, a na ke aupuni pekelala e alakaʻi, a kōkua iā mākou e ʻike i nā hopena no ka palekana o kā mākou wai."

Ua hōʻike ʻo East Bay Express, “ʻAʻole maopopo ke kūlanakauhale i kahi e hele mai ai ka haumia. Ma muli o ka lilo ʻana o nā kemika i wahi āpau a hoʻomau mau i ke kaiapuni, ʻaʻole kuhikuhi nā pae ʻike kiʻekiʻe i kahi mea haumia maopopo, e like me kahi ʻoihana, kahi landfill, a i ʻole kahi kahua mokulele.

Na 568 mau pūnāwai i ho'āʻo ʻia e ka Papa Kūlana Waiwai ʻona o Kaleponi no nā lāʻau PFAS ma 2019, 308 (54.2%) i loaʻa i hoʻokahi a i ʻole kekahi ʻano PFAS.

Ua hoʻāʻo ka Papa Wai i nā kahua mokulele kūloko, nā ʻāina neoneo i neoneo, a me nā kumuwai wai inu i loko o kahi radius o 1-mile o nā luawai i ʻike ʻia i loko o ka PFAS. Me kekahi mau hoʻokoe e like me Pleasanton, noho ka hoʻāʻo ʻana mai nā kaiāulu kokoke i nā hoʻonohonoho pūʻali koa. Huina nui o 19,228 mau ʻāpana no ka trillion (ppt) o nā ʻano 14 o PFAS i hōʻike ʻia i loaʻa ma kēlā mau pūlima 308. He 51% paha o PFOS a i ʻole PFOA aʻo 49% koena koina o nā PFAS.        

Eia nō, ʻelima mau pūʻali koa i mokuana. ʻO China Lake Naval Air Station, Port Hueneme Naval Base Ventura County, Mather Air Force Base, Tustin USMC Air Station, a me Travis Air Force Base i hoʻohaumia i ka wai o ka wai me 11,472,000 ppt, o PFOS + PFOA. Inā ma waena o 50-50 i hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ma waena o PFOS / PFOA a me nā mea poke PFAS ʻē aʻe i ʻike ʻia i nā luawai 308 i hoʻāʻo ʻia ma loko o ka mokuʻāina he hōʻailona ia, ʻo kēia mau ʻelima hoʻoili naʻu ke kuleana no ka PFAS ma nā pae ma luna o 20,000,000 ppt. Ma mua o 50 mau kahua pūʻali koa i ʻike ʻia e hoʻohana i ka PFAS ma Kaleponi. Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia paha e ka pūʻali koa he haneli mau galona o ka pahū ahi e komo ana i kēia mau make kino make i loko o ka wai kai a me ka wai o Kaleponi.

ʻOiai ka wana o ka pūʻali koa i hoʻohālikelike ʻia ka wai lepo me nā mea kanu PFAS ma nā wahi kā Camp Campks, ʻaʻole ia i hōʻike i nā hopena o ka hoʻāʻo ʻana ma ka waihona.

Eia kekahi, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory ʻaʻole i hoʻolaha i ka lehulehu i ka nui o ka haumia o PFAS i loko o kāna wai wai a i ʻole wai inu, ʻoiai aia kahi hale i waena o nā wahi haumia loa o ka ʻāina. ʻO ka hapa nui o nā hoʻokolohua i hana ʻia ma laila e pili ana i ka hoʻāʻo ʻana i nā hāhū pahū e koi ai i ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā mea kaʻi ahi. ʻO nā mea hoʻohui kūpona (VOC) e like me TCE, PCE, Uranium pau, tritium, PCB a me dioxins, perchlorate, nitrates a me freon nā mea haumia mua i loaʻa ma kēia pūnaewele. 

Hoʻopalaha ʻia nā ʻuʻalā maʻi e pili ana i ka pā, e komo ana i nā lua holoholona radioactive. Kau ʻia nā moa  hale hana, nā ʻōpala hale hana a me nā ʻōpala biomedical. Loaʻa iā Livermore nā lagoon hoʻolei ʻona a kahi kiʻekiʻe - nā mea pōā pahū. Hoʻohaumia kēia hana i ka ʻāina, ka ea, a me ka wai kokoke i Pleasanton.

ʻAʻole maopopo ka poʻe ma Pleasanton kahi e hele mai ai ka PFAS. ʻAʻole paʻakikī ia e ʻike. E hoʻāʻo i ka wai hohonu ma kahi o Livermore a me nā māka.
