Pentagon Reports 250 Nzvimbo Nyowani dzakasanganiswa nePFAS

NePat Mukuru, March 27, 2020

From Pfuti dzemauto

Pentagon ikozvino inobvuma izvozvo Masosi ehondo 651 dzakasvibiswa neyaka- uye nePolor fluoroalkyl zvinhu, (PFAS), 62 muzana inowedzera kubva kwairi kuverenga kwekupedzisira kwemasayiti makumi mana nemashanu munaAgasti, 401.

Ona maDOD  kuwedzerwa kwekupedzisira kwenzvimbo 250 dzakasvibiswa yakarongedzwa nenzira inonzwisisika neshamwari dzedu kuEnharaunda Working Group.

PFAS inowanikwa mumvura yekunwa kana pasi pevhu panzvimbo itsva, kunyange hazvo huwandu hwehutano hwekusvibisa husiri kuzivikanwa nekuti DOD haisati yaita muyedzo kuona mamiriro ezvimwe zvinokonzeresa cancer.

Ruzivo rwenyika parizvino nedenda reconavirus rakaratidza kukosha kwekuyedza vanhu sedanho rekutanga mukuparadzira hutachiona. Zvimwechetezvo, kuyedza mvura yese yemumabhizimusi neyakavanzika yekunwa mvura yezvinosvibisa sePFAS inofanira kuitwa kutanga chirongwa chekudzivirira hutano hweveruzhinji. Hazvina kukwana kuti tizive kuti mvura ine muchetura.

Kuenderera mberi kwemauto kushandisa aqueous firimu-inogadzira furo (AFFF), yakagadzirwa nemakemikari akasiyana ePFAS, kuri kukonzera kukanganisa kwakapararira kune hutano hwevanhu uye nharaunda. Maureen Sullivan, Deputy Deputy Secretary of Defense for Environment vakaudza Tara Copp weMcClatchy svondo rino kuti "chero nzvimbo ine mvura yekunwa yakasvibiswa. zvakatogadziriswa."Sullivan akaenderera mberi achiti," Sezvo Dhipatimendi redziviriro parinotanga kudzidza kusvibiswa kwemvura yepasi pasi zvakadzama, zvinotarisa kuti 'ipombi iripi? Zviri kufamba sei? '”

Aya mazwi anonyengera uye anopokana. Mvura yepasi pevhu mapfumo anotakura izvo zvinokonzeresa kumakanzuru uye ematsime ekunwa. Iyo DOD yakundikana kugadzirisa zvakakomba kunetseka kwevanhu. Mapepa anouraya anogona kufamba kwemamaira, nepo DOD yakundikana kuyedza matsime akavanzika ingori zviuru zviviri zvemamita kubva kuburitswa nePFAS pazvigadziko muMaryland uye iri kugadzirisa ruzivo nezve mapurumu anouraya muCalifornia. Kwemakore, iyo carcinogenic mapundu anga achifamba akananga kumaodzanyemba kwakadziva kuWisconsin National Guard's Truax Munda muMadison, asi iyo DOD yanga isiri kuyedza matsime ega ipapo. Vanhu muAlexandria, Louisiana, uko imwe mhando yePFAS inozivikanwa sePFHxS yakawanikwa mumvura yepasi pamatanho anopfuura mamirioni makumi maviri ppt., Havana kumboongororwa matsime avo.

Zvichakadaro, masayendisiti ezvehutano everuzhinji anoyambira pamusoro pekudyara kupfuura 1 ppt yePFAS zuva nezuva. DOD iri kunyengedza veruzhinji veAmerica uye mhedzisiro yacho kusuwa uye kufa.

Munyika yose, mauto anosarudza nharaunda achiyedza nzvimbo dziri padiki seyenzira yekuisa nharaunda munharaunda, uye ivo vanongopa kuzivisa pane maviri kana matatu emhando dzinodarika mazana matanhatu ezviuru dzemakemikari ane PFAS.

Funga nezvemvura yematsime aVaMai naMai Kenneth Culberton, kunze kweGeorge Air Force Base muVictorville, California. Kunyangwe hwaro hwakavharwa muna 1992 mvura yepasi inoshandiswa pamatsime ega ega pachigadziko ichiri chepfu uye ingangove kwezviuru zvemakore - kana kupfuura.

Iyo Lahanton Yenharaunda Yemvura Hwakanaka Kudzora Bhodhi (pane iyo DOD) akaedza tsime raCulberton gore rakapera uye vakawana zvikamu 859 patrillion (ppt) yezvinhu zvinosvibisa PFAS. PFOS nePFOA zvakazara 83 ppt, nepo zvakashatisa zvakaipisisa zvisiri zvePFOS / PFOA zvakasanganisira 776 ppt. Matsime akasarudzika haana kuyedzwa nekuda kwemauto anokonzerwa nemauto mudunhu rese.

Mauto Emhepo akavhara George Air Force Base muna 1992. Maererano naGumiguru, 2005 George AFB Kudzorera Advisory Board Adjournment Chirevo, mapombi emvura epasi pemvura ane zvinosvibisa aive asina kutamira mune matsime emvura yekunwa kana muMhirive River. "Mvura yekunwa munharaunda inoenderera mberi yakachengeteka kuti ishandiswe," maererano neshumo rekupedzisira.

Sezviri pachena, izvi ndizvo izvo zvairehwa nemutevedzeri woMunyori Munyori Wezvekudzivirira Sullivan paakati mvura yakasvibiswa yekunwa "yatogadziriswa."

Vanhu munharaunda yeVictorville vangangodaro vakamwa mvura ine muchetura kune mazera maviri uye izvi ndizvo zvagara zvichiitika munharaunda dziri padiki nenyika dzese.

Matanho ePFAS mumvura yepasi pekumisikidzwa kwemauto gumi nematanhatu nyika iri pamusoro pe14 miriyoni ppt, nepo EPA yakaburitsa isinga tsigisike "chipangamazano" che1 ppt mumvura yekunwa. 70 nzvimbo dzemauto dzaive nemazinga ePFAS mumvura yepasi anodarika 64 ppt.

Chishoma chemakambani enhau enhau anogara achitaura pamusoro peshoko reDOD's PFAS muzvimedu zvenguva pfupi izvo zvinowanzokundikana kuongorora nyaya yekusvibiswa kwePFAS mune chero ruzivo. Panguva ino, nyika dzinotungamira dzenhau dzakatadza kuzivisa nyaya yacho. Muchina wekuparadzira weDOD ikozvino wave kutaura ruzivo rutsva, uchiperekedza nhau dzenzvimbo dzinosvibisa mazana maviri nemakumi mashanu.
​
Iyo ndarira yepamusoro yakasarudza zuva iro Mutungamiri VaTrump vakazivisa dambudziko renyika nezve dambudziko re coronavirus kuburitsa yanga yakamirira kwenguva refu Basa Rekufambira Mberi Chirevo paPer- uye Polyfluoroalkyl Zvinhu, (PFAS). Chirevo ichi chinotsigira Pentagon "kuzvipira kuhutano nekuchengeteka kwenhengo dzevashandi vedu, mhuri dzavo, vashandi veDoD, uye nharaunda dzinoshanda DoD." Iyo chaiyo DOD rekodhi rekodhi inodonha zvishoma zvishoma kuzvipira.

The Task Force inoti yakanangana nezvinangwa zvitatu: kudzikisira uye kubvisa kushandiswa kwemvura inovava inogadzira firimu, (AFFF); kunzwisisa zvinoitika zvePFAS pahutano hwevanhu; uye kuzadzisa yedu yekuchenesa mutoro une hukama nePFAS.
​
Chaizvoizvo? Ngatitarisei kunyengedza kweDOD.

Chinangwa # 1 - Kutapudza uye kubvisa mashandisiro azvino aqueous firimu-inogadzira furo, (AFFF):

Iyo DOD yakaratidza kushomeka kudiki kune "kudzikisira uye kubvisa" kushandiswa kwecocinogenic moto wekudzimisa moto. Muchokwadi, ivo vakaramba foni kuti vachinjire kune zvakatipoteredza zvine fluorine-isina mafomu arikushandiswa parizvino munzvimbo zhinji dzenyika. DOD inodzivirira mashandisiro ayo eanokonzera gomarara ichiti "iyo DoD ndeimwe yevashandisi vazhinji veAFFF, nevamwe vashandisi vakuru kusanganisira nhandare dzendege, oiri uye gasi indasitiri, uye madhipatimendi emoto emuno." Chirevo ichi chinotsausa zvinotyisa nekuda kwekufamba kwakawanda pakati pezvikamu izvi kure nekushandiswa kwemhondi mafomu. Chimiro chemauto-chinotungamirwa nemauto chiri kudhura hupenyu uye kuchikanganisa nharaunda.
​
Zvichakadaro, kushandiswa kwemafuru-asina mafuru (F3 mapfumo) muchiuto uye zvevashandisi vehurumende zvakaenzaniswa neizvo zvinodikanwa neMIL-SPEC (zvirevo zvemauto) zvakaratidzirwa nguva zhinji mukuedzwa muEurope yose.

Semuenzaniso, iyo International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) inorayira miedzo yekudzimisa mafuru mashandiro ezvekufambisa nharaunda zvinangwa zveveruzhinji zvinoshandisa bvunzo dzemoto. Makumi mapfumbamwe F3 mapasita akapfuura akanyanya mwero yeICAO bvunzouye parizvino yashandiswa zvakanyanya panhandare dzendege mupasi rose, kusanganisira hoko huru dzepasi rose dzakadai seDubai, Dortmund, Stuttgart, London Heathrow, Manchester, Copenhagen, uye Auckland. Makambani akazvimiririra emakambani anoshandisa F3 foam anosanganisira BP, ExxonMobil, Hwese, Gazprom, uye nevamwe vakawanda.

3F inovashandira. Nei asiri mauto eUS?

Kutozosvika gore ra 2018, iyo Federal Aviation Administration yaida iyo nendege dzeruzhinji kuti vashandise carcinogenic AFFF. Panguva iyoyo, Congress yakazoita yekubvumira nhandare kuti dzishandise iyo yakasarudzika F3 mafuru. Pamwe ipapo, nyika sere dzakabata kupasisa mutemo kudzora ekare carcinogenic mafomu, uye vamwe vari kutevera. Iyo DOD haisi kuudza iyo yakasara yenyaya uye kuomerera kwayo pakushandisa aya macarcinogen kwakafanana nekuita kwematsotsi.

Chinangwa # 2 - Kunzwisisa zvinoitika zvePFAS pane hutano hwevanhu:

DOD inotaura mutambo wakanaka. Kunyangwe zita reChinangwa # 2 rinotsausa kune veruzhinji. Hurumende yemubatanidzwa, masangano ezvidzidzo, uye vesaenzi pasi rese vakagadzira muviri unoshamisa wezveruzivo pamusoro pekurwara kwePFAS.

PFAS inobatsira kune testicular, chiropa, chipfuva, uye itsvo cancer, kunyangwe iyo DOD isingambotaure nezve "C" izwi. Masayendisiti anoziva zvishoma nezve aya makemikari. Semuenzaniso, imwe ye6,000+ PFAS makemikari anowanzo kuwanikwa mumvura yepasi uye pamusoro pemvura padhuze nemabheseni munyika, PFHxS, (inoratidzwa pamusoro pemvura yeCulberton pa540 ppt.), Chinotsiva PFOS / PFOA, yaonekwa mu umbilical tambo yeropa uye inopfuudzwa ku "embryo" kusvika padanho rakakura kupfuura izvo zvinonzi zvePFOS, iyo yakajairika carcinogen inosangana neDOD yekudzimisa moto mafomu. Kuratidzira kwepabonde kune PFHxS kunoenderana nekuitika kwezvirwere zvinotapukira (senge ottis media, pneumonia, RS virus uye varicella) muhupenyu hwepakutanga.

Sezvo ruzhinji rwevanhu ruchatanga kudzidza zvakawanda pamusoro penjodzi dzehutano hwemakemikari aya neruzivo nezve nhanho dzekusvibisa pazvigadziko uye munharaunda dzakapoteredzwa, varwi vanomanikidzwa kuita misangano yeruzhinji kuti vagadzirise zvinetswa zviri kuwedzera, senge yakaitirwa pa raibhurari yeruzhinji iri kunze kwegedhi hombe rePatuxent River Naval Air Station muLexington Park, Maryland munaKurume 3, 2020.

Wongorora chirevo ichi, chakatorwa kubva kubhodhi yeruzivo inoratidzwa neNavy muMaryland. "Panguva ino, masayendisiti achiri kudzidza nezvekuti kuiswa pachena kuPFAS kunogona kukanganisa hutano hwevanhu."  Pakukosha kwechiso, chirevo icho ichokwadi; zvisinei, zvinosiya vanhu vachifunga kuti kusvibiswa kwePFAS idambudziko idzva uye kuti zvingave zvisina kunyanyoipa. Muchokwadi, DOD yakaziva nezveturu yezvinhu izvi kweanoda kusvika makore makumi mana.

DOD Aizoita kurudzira ruzhinji kuti vaongorore hunouraya hwemhando dzakasiyana siyana dzemishonga yePFAS nekutungamira vanhu kuti vaongorore iyo NIH's National Library yeMishonga Pub Chem injini yekutsvaga, asi haina. Ichi chishamiso chinoshamisa, icho chisati chavharwa nehutongi hwaTrump, inotsanangudza huturu hwevanhu hunokonzerwa nezviuru zvemakemikari ane njodzi, mazhinji ayo anogara achishandiswa nemauto uye achiri kutorwa sezvinhu zvine njodzi neEPA, uye nekudaro, kwete inodzorwa pasi peSuperfund Mutemo. Chero chinhu chinoenda.
Mumwedzi mishoma yapfuura, VaTrump Administration vakadhonza plug pazvinhu zviviri zvakakosha: Toxnet naToxmap. Zvishandiso izvi zvakabvumidza veruzhinji kuti vatsvage zvakasiyana siyana zvehondo nemaindasitiri, kusanganisira PFAS Mbizi inomirira imba yehuku apo iyo DOD inoshandisa paruzhinji rusina ruzivo.

Shamwari Dzedu paKudengenyeka Kwemamiriro ekunze uye yeZvakadzivirirwa Fund achangoburitsa ongororo yakabatanidzwa kuratidza kuti EPA yaTrump inogara ichityora sei Toxic Substances Control Act iyo inotonga kugadzirwa, kushandiswa, uye kugoverwa kwemakemikari anouraya, kusanganisira PFAS. VaTrump vanga vari njodzi kumaakaundi mazhinji, asi nhaka yavo inogara ichishandurwa DNA, hurema hwekuzvara, kushaya mbereko neCancer.

Dare repamusoro rinoti zvakare, "Dzimwe ongororo dzesainzi dzinoratidza kuti dzimwe PFAS dzinogona kukanganisa mamwe masisitimu mumuviri." Chirevo ichi chinokonzera kusahadzika mupfungwa dzeveruzhinji nekuti chinosiya pachena mukana wekuti zvimwe zvinhu zvePFAS zvingasave zvakashata uku ruzhinji rwezvidzidzo zvichiratidza kuti zvinhu zvese zvePFAS zvinogona kukuvadza. Iyo DOD iri kutevera kutungamira kweEPA neCongress mune izvi. Panzvimbo pekurambidza pakarepo makemikari ese ePFAS uye kubvumidza kushandiswa kweimwe chete yePFAS kana vachinge vatongwa sevasina njodzi, iyo EPA neCongress vari kuenderera mberi vachibvumira kuwanda kwezvirwere izvi vachifunga nezvekuenda kunoongorora imwe neimwe. .

Chinangwa # 3 - Kuzadzisa yedu yekuchenesa mutoro une hukama nePFAS.

Hapana chinogona kuzoenderera mberi kubva pachokwadi nekuti iyo DOD haigamuchire mutoro nekuda kwayo kwematsotsi. Mauto Emuchadenga anga achiti mumatare emubatanidzwa izvo "Kudzivirirwa kwerunyararo" inobvumira iyo kusaremekedza chero mamiriro ehurumende ane chekuita nekusvibiswa kwePFAS. Dhipatimendi reTrump Administration's DOD iri kuudza vanhu veAmerica kuti inochengetera kodzero yekuvaisa chepfu apo veruzhinji vasina zvavanogona nezvazvo.

Panguva imwecheteyo, vemauto vari kucheka nekunamatira kubva mumutauro weboilerplate kuti vabudise nhema dzakadai: "DOD yakaronga zviitiko izvi zvirinani uye iri kushanda zvine hunyanzvi kuti izadzise nekuongorora nekumisikidza zvigaro zvemitemo uye kuburitsa zvinodiwa, kukurudzira nekumhanyisa kutsvagisa "Kusimudzira nekusimudzira, uye kuona kuti mapato eDoD ari kugadzirisa uye kutaurirana nezvePFAS mune nyaya yakajeka, yakajeka, uye pachena."

Iyi marara uye inguva yekuti veruzhinji veAmerica vasimuke nekunhuwa muchetura.

Kana iyo DOD yaive yakatendeseka nezve kuchenesa PFAS, vaizoedza mvura kutenderera nyika, kusanganisira mvura yedutu uye mvura yakasviba inoyerera ichibva kunzvimbo dzakasvibiswa pazvigadziko.

Iyo DOD inonzwisisa kuti PFAS kubva kumisheni yekumisikidza yakasvibisa masisitimu emvura emvura yedutu pamwe nemvura yakasviba biosolids uye sludge. Izvi zvinoburitswa zvinomiririra nzira yekutanga yekumwa kwevanhu nekuti mvura ine chepfu inosvibisa mvura yepasirese uye hupenyu hwegungwa hunodyiwa nevanhu, nepo tsvina yetsvina ichipararira paminda yepurazi inokura zvirimwa zvekudyiwa nevanhu. Oysters, makamba, hove, mastrawberry, asparagus, uye hanyanisi zvine chepfu - kungodudza zvishoma zvinhu zvatinodya.

Panzvimbo pekushanda pamwe chete neEPA kutanga matanho akasvibisa mazhinji mune idzi midhiya, DOD's Task Force inongoda kuchengeta nzira dzakasiyana siyana dzePFAS mumvura yemadutu inobvumidza. Mauto anoti anoongorora kunyangwe kukudziridza nhungamiro maererano nenzira dzekurasa midhiya ine PFAS; kugadzirisa zvese zvakaburitswa zvine PFAS; uye kubata mvura yakasviba biosolids uye sludge ine PFAS. Ivo vanokundikana kugadzirisa kwavo kupisa kwevakasara mumatura ePFAS.

Ivo vanoramba kugadzirisa dambudziko rehutano hweveruzhinji ravakakonzerwa.

Kunyangwe paine angangoita 600 PFAS mune zvekutengeserana, parizvino matatu chete - PFOS, PFOA, uye PFBS - vakagadza huturu hunoshandiswa neDoD kuona kana kuchenesa kuchidikanwa. Mimwe mutambo wakanaka, uye mazhinji atove mumuviri wako, zvichikonzera kukuvara.
