Ib qhov chaw kis cov tshuaj lom neeg kis tau los ntawm cov yeeb yaj kiab uas ua dej npau (AFFF) siv rau kev tua hluav taws niaj hnub ua haujlwm rau cov tub rog. Cov tub rog tso cai rau cov tshuaj lom mus rau hauv av kom paug cov neeg zej zog uas siv cov dej hauv lawv qhov dej thiab cov dej hauv municipal systems.
Lub Pentagon xav tias tsis muaj lub luag haujlwm thiab tsis kam them nyiaj rau kev ntxuav tu cov khoom paug uas tau tshwm sim ntawd. Army Col. Andrew Wiesen, DOD Tus Thawj Coj ntawm Kev Tiv Thaiv Tshuaj rau Lub Chaw Haujlwm Saib Xyuas Kev Noj Qab Haus Huv hais tias kev paug yog lub luag haujlwm ntawm EPA.

"DoD tsis tau ib leeg ntsia ntawm cov tebchaw thiab tsis muaj" kev tshawb fawb ntxiv rau qhov no, hais txog kev noj qab haus huv ntawm PFOS / PFOA, yam tsawg kawg raws li kuv paub. "
Meanwhile, Cov Cua Dag Zog Yuam yuav tsis them rov qab peb Colorado cov zej zog rau cov nyiaj tau siv los teb nrog cov dej muaj paug los ntawm cov tshuaj tua hluav taws zoo ua npuas ncauj. AFFF tau siv yav tas los ntawm Peterson Air Force Base, uas muaj peev xwm tawm hauv cov nroog nrog $ 11 lab tab. Lub Tub Rog Cua tau thov lwm qhov chaw uas yuav muaj peev xwm ua rau qhov dej tsis huv, tab sis tsis muaj leej twg qhia tau meej.
Ntau tshaj 3,000 teeb meem PFAS tshuaj tau tsim los lawm. Ob ntawm cov deadliest yog Perfluoro Octane Sulfonate (PFOS) thiab Perfluoro Octanoic Acid (PFOA). Lawv siv hluav taws xob tua hluav taws tua hluav taws ntau heev.
PFOS & PFOA yog lub npe hu ua "tshuaj mus ib txhis" vim tias lawv tsis ua rau qhov phem ib puag ncig. Cov tub rog ceg yog nyob rau hauv tus txheej txheem ntawm hloov mus rau lwm yam tsawg dua ua kom tuag hluav taws kub sib ntaus sib tua.
EPA tseem tso cai rau cov kab mob PFAS cov tshuaj tua kab mob yuav siv thaum Cov kws tshawb fawb ntawm Harvard hais tias 1 ib feem ntawm trillion (ppt) yuav ua rau tib neeg muaj mob.
EPA cov khoom noj khoom haus Lifetime Health Advisory (LHA) txwv rau ob qho tshuaj yog 70 ppt thaum Lub Chaw Khiav Haujlwm Rau Cov Tshuaj Tua Tshuaj thiab Mob Npe (ATSDR) tau npaj cov dej haus hauv lub neej ntawm 11 ppt rau PFOA thiab 7 ppt rau PFOS.
Cov duab hauv qab no muaj cov ntsiab lus xaus rau AFFF cov kev ua hauv txhua lub sijhawm rau hauv cov tub rog nrog cov theem dej lom hauv cov zej zog uas nyob ib sab.
PFOS / PFOA contamination hauv cov dej hauv qhov dej hauv av tau muab tshem tawm ntawm qhov no DOD daim ntawv qhia. Cov lus hais los ntawm DOD hauv tsab ntawv ceeb toom kuj muaj nyob rau hauv.
