Ozimitsa moto ankhondo ndi anthu wamba amakumana ndi mankhwala omwe amayambitsa khansa mu zida zosinthira, thovu lozimitsa moto, ndi fumbi m'malo ozimitsa moto. Kuyeza magazi ndi sitepe yoyamba popewa matenda.
Miyezi inayi yadutsa kuchokera pomwe idasindikizidwa Malangizo pa Kuyesa kwa PFAS ndi Zotsatira Zaumoyo, kafukufuku wa National Academy of Sciences, Engineering, Medicine, (National Academy). National Academy ndi mabungwe otsogola aku America omwe adapangidwa ndi Purezidenti Lincoln mu 1863 kuti afufuze nkhani zasayansi ku boma la US.
National Academies imalimbikitsa kuyezetsa magazi komanso kuwunika kwachipatala kwa anthu omwe atha kukhala okhudzidwa kwambiri ndi mankhwala oopsa omwe amadziwika kuti per-and poly fluoroalkyl substances, (PFAS). National Academies ikuyang'ana makamaka kufunikira kwachangu kufikira anthu omwe akukumana ndi njira zantchito, makamaka ozimitsa moto.
Kodi alipo amene akulabadira?
PFAS bioaccumulate m'matupi athu, kutanthauza kuti samaphwanya ndipo samadutsa ngakhale ife, monga poizoni zina zambiri. Ndizomwe zimalekanitsa PFAS ndi ma carcinogens ena ambiri mdera lathu.
Ozimitsa moto ambiri, kuphatikiza anthu omwe adapuma pantchito zaka zapitazo, akuyenera kuti adakweza kwambiri PFAS m'magazi awo kuti asatengeke ndi ma carcinogens kuchokera ku zida zamoto, thovu lozimitsa moto, komanso mpweya ndi fumbi m'malo ozimitsa moto ndi malo opangira ndege.
Kuwonetsedwa kwa PFAS kwalumikizidwa ndi makhansa otsatirawa, pomwe maphunziro ozama akupitilira, (Onani maulalo pansipa)
