RE: Yakarongwa Kuvhura Burning kweM6 Propellants ku Camp Minden, Louisiana
Mudiwa Mutevedzeri Mutungamiri Giles,
Isu, sangano rakanyora pasi, tinosangana neLouisana vagari, vashandi nemhuri mukudana kwavo kune imwe nzira yakachengeteka yokuzarura kupisa kwematokari ane ngozi ku Camp Minden.
Tinopesana neurongwa neU.S. Environmental Protection Agency kune OPEN BURN 15 mamiriyoni mapaundi ematokisi anonzi M6 akasiyiwa ku Camp Minden, Louisiana.

M6 inosanganisira 10 percent dinitrotoluene (DNT) iyo inorondedzerwa sechinhu chinokonzerwa nehutachiona hwevanhu.1
Kunetseka kwehutano hwehutano hwevanhu hunokonzerwa nekutsva kana kuzarura nekuvhenekera uye pamwe nekukanganisa kwezvakatipoteredza mumhepo, ivhu, uye mvura zvinoda kuti mauto aone uye awedzere dzimwe nzira dzekuvhura kupisa / kuvhara kurapwa kwevakazaruka.2 Uyezve, sezvo Urongwa hweEPA hunopa kuchengetedza kwakachengeteka uye kutakura kune nzvimbo yakavhenekera inopisa, madota aya anogona kuendeswa kune imwe nzvimbo nzvimbo yekurapa kana hurongwa.
Nepo isu tichitsigira chirongwa cheEPA chekuda kuti US Army irambe ichichenesa uye ichidzikisa matongo aya asina kukodzera akachengetedzwa, hatibatsiri kupisa kusununguka sechigadziriswa chinokonzerwa nezvengozi uye inodzivirirwa kune utano hwevanhu uye zvakatipoteredza.
