NePat Elder, World BEYOND War, April 15, 2021
Patuxent River Naval Air Station (Pax River) uye Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) vakazivisa kuti mvura yepasi paPax River yeWebster Kunze kweMunda muSt Inigoes, MD ine zvikamu 84,757 pamatirioni (ppt) yePerfluorooctanesulfonic acid, (PFOS ). Iyo chepfu yakaonekwa paKuvaka 8076 inozivikanwa zvakare seFire Station 3. Iyo mwero wehuturu inguva chiuru nemazana maviri nemakumi manomwe ppt yemubatanidzwa gwara.
Mvura yepasi uye pamusoro pemvura kubva kune diki yekumisikidza kumisidzana inoyerera ichipinda muSt. Inigoes Creek, chinhambwe chipfupi kuRwizi rwePotomac uye neChesapeake Bay.
Iwo makemikari akabatanidzwa kune yakawanda kenza, kusagadzikana kwemwana, uye zvirwere zvevacheche.
Iyo Navy zvakare yakashuma zviyero zvePFOS panzvimbo huru yePax rwizi pa35,787.16 ppt. Iko kusvibiswa uko kuyerera kunopinda muPatuxent Rwizi uye neChesapeake Bay.
Nhaurirano yekusvibiswa munzvimbo mbiri idzi ichaunzwa kuruzhinji pamusangano wakakurumidza kuziviswa weNAS Patuxent River Restoration Advisory Board (RAB) musangano wakarongerwa muna Kubvumbi 28, kubva na6: 00 pm kusvika 7:00 pm, Navy yakazivisa muna Kubvumbi 12 . Iyo navy haina kuzivisa nezvezvikamu zvePFAS mumvura yepamusoro.
Iwo maNavy ari kutsvaga mibvunzo kubva kuruzhinji nezvePFAS kuPax River uye Webster Field kuburikidza neemail ku pax_rab@navy.mil Mibvunzo yakatumirwa email ichagamuchirwa kusvika Chishanu, Kubvumbi 16. Ona chinyorwa cheNavy pano. Uyezve ona iyo Navy's PFAS Saiti Yekutarisa PDF. Gwaro iri rine data richangobva kuburitswa kubva kumasosi ese ari maviri. Musangano weawa rimwe chete uchasanganisira ipfupi pamhedzisiro mitsva uye chikamu chemibvunzo nemhinduro nevamiririri vanobva kumahombekombe, US Environmental Protection Agency, uye Maryland Department of Environment.
Veruzhinji vanogona kujoina musangano chaiwo nekudzvanya pano.
Webster Field iri mamaira gumi nemaviri kumaodzanyemba kwakadziva kumadokero kwePax River muSt Mary's County, MD, anenge mamaira makumi manomwe nemashanu kumaodzanyemba kweWashington.
PFAS Kusvibiswa paWebster Field
Webster Field inogara peninsula pakati peSt. Inigoes Creek neSt Mary's River, inoyerera yePotomac. Iyo Webster Kunze kweMunda anowedzera anogara kumusha kuNaval Air Warfare Center Ndege Chikamu, pamwe neCôte Guard Chiteshi St. Inigoes, uye chikamu cheMaryland Army National Guard.
Kuvaka 8076 iri padhuze neayo aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) Crash Truck Maintenance Area uko marori anoshandisa mafuro ane PFAS aigara achiedzwa. Iyo saiti iri pasi pemamita mazana maviri kubva kuSt. Inigoes Creek. Iyi tsika, sekureva kweNavy, yakamiswa muma200, kunyange hazvo kuenderera kuchiri kuenderera. Iwo epamusoro PFAS nhanho dzakataurwa munguva pfupi yapfuura ndeye testamende yekugara kwesimba kweanodaidzwa kunzi "zvachose makemikari."

Ruvara rwebhuruu runoratidza nzvimbo yemuedzo wemvura wandakaita muna Kukadzi, 2020. Dot dzvuku rinoratidza nzvimbo yekurasa AFFF.
Muna Kukadzi, 2020 ndakaedza mvura pamahombekombe angu paSt Inigoes Creek muSt. Mary's Guta rePFAS. Mhedzisiro yandakaburitsa zvakavhundutsa nharaunda. Mvura yakaratidzirwa kuve iine 1,894.3 ppt yePFAS ine 1,544.4 ppt yePFOS. 275 vanhu vakapakira muLexington Park Library kutanga kwaKurume, 2020, nguva pfupi isati yasvika denda, kuti vanzwe navy ichidzivirira mashandisiro ayo ePFAS.
Vazhinji vaive nehanya zvakanyanya nehunhu hwemvura iri mumarukova uye nzizi uye neChesapeake Bay kupfuura mvura yekunwa. Vakanga vaine mibvunzo yakawanda isina mhinduro kumahombekombe. Vakanga vachishushikana nezvezvokudya zvegungwa zvakasvibiswa.
Mhedzisiro iyi yakagadzirwa neYunivhesiti yeMichigan's Biological Laboratory ichishandisa nzira yeEPA 537.1.
Iyo Navy yakangoedza chete PFOS, PFOA, uye PFBS. Inotadza kugadzirisa matanho e11 mamwe marudzi ePFAS anokuvadza anowanikwa muSt. Inigoes Creek: PFHxA, PFHpA, PFHxS, PFNA, PFDA, PFUnA, PFDoA, PFTrDA, PFTA, N-MeFOSAA, NEtFOSAA. Pane kudaro, Patrick Gordon, NAS Patuxent River Veruzhinji Vanoona Mahofisi akabvunza "chokwadi uye kurongeka" kwemhedzisiro.
Izvi zvakanakisa kudare redzimhosva rakazara. Vezvezvakatipoteredza havamiriri mukana wakawanda vachiyedza kuyambira vanhu nezvenjodzi dzinounzwa nehupfu uhu. Navy inoda kusara yega. Dhipatimendi reMadganisheni reMamiriro ekunze haripe uye rinotoda kunyepa zvinyorwa zvehutachiona. Dhipatimendi rehutano reMaryland rakadzokera kuNavy. Iyo County Commissioners haisi kutungamira iyo mhosva. Maseneta Cardin naVan Hollen vanga vakanyarara, kunyangwe Mumiriri Steny Hoyer achangobva kuratidza zvimwe zviratidzo zvehupenyu panhau iyi. Mavhenekeri anoona kutyisidzira hupenyu hwavo.
Mukupindura kune zvakawanikwa gore rapfuura, Ira May, uyo anotarisira federal saiti kuchenesa kweMadhorobha Dhipatimendi reZvakatipoteredza, akaudza Bay Journal kusvibiswa kuri murukova, "kana kuriko," kunogona kuva neimwe sosi. Iwo makemikari anowanzo kuwanikwa munzvimbo dzekudyara, akadaro, pamwe nemuma biosolid uye kune nzvimbo uko madhipatimendi emoto ehurumende akapfapfaidza furo. "Saka, pane zvakawanda zvinogona kuwanikwa," akadaro May. "Tangori kutanga kwekutarisa ese ayo."
Akanga ari wepamusoro mukomana mukomana akafukidza zvemauto here? Zviteshi zvemoto muVall Lee neRidge zviri anenge mamaira mashanu kure, nepo nzvimbo yekuvharisa yapedyo iri mamaira gumi nerimwe. Mhenderekedzo yangu iri 11 tsoka kubva kuburitswa neAFFF.
Izvo zvakakosha kuti usvike pakunzwisisa kweiyo mugumo uye kutakura yePFAS. Sayenzi haina kugadzikana. Ndakawana 1,544 ppt yePFOS nepo Webster Field yepasi pemvura pachivako ichi yaive ne84,000 ppt yePFOS. Mhenderekedzo yedu inogara padenga kuchamhembe kwakadziva kumadokero kwenzvimbo apo mhepo dziripo dzinovhuvhuta kubva kumaodzanyemba-kumaodzanyemba kwakadziva kumadokero - ndiko kuti, kubva pazasi kusvika kugungwa redu. Iyo mafuro anoungana pamwe nemafungu pamazuva mazhinji. Dzimwe nguva furo rinokwira tsoka uye rinoita mhepo. Kana masaisai akakwirira furo rinoparara.
Mukati meanenge maawa maviri nemairi emvura yakakwira, iwo mafuro anonyungudika mukati memvura, semabhuru ekushambidza dhishi akasara ega musingi. Dzimwe nguva isu tinokwanisa kuona mutsara wefuro uchitanga kuumbika painorova pasherefu yerukova. (Unogona kuona misiyano mukudzika kwemvura mumufananidzo wesataneti pamusoro.) Kwemamita angangoita mazana mana mvura iri pamberi peimba yedu yakadzika kusvika pamamita matatu pakadzika pakadzika. Ipapo, kamwe kamwe inodonha kusvika pamakumi maviri neshanu tsoka. Ndipo panotanga kuvaka furo uye kufamba kuenda kugungwa.
Kune zvimwe zvikonzero zvekutarisa maererano nezveramangwana uye kutakurwa kwePFAS mumvura. Kune kutanga, PFOS ndiyo hombe PFAS inoshambira uye inogona kufamba mamaira mumvura yepasi uye mumvura yepamusoro. PFOA, kune rimwe divi, yakamira uye inowanzo shatisa ivhu, goho rekurima, nyama yemombe, uye huku. PFOS inofamba mumvura, sezvinoonekwa muYunivhesiti yeMichigan zvabuda.
Mushure mekunge mhinduro dzangu dzemvura dzashatiswa nehurumende Ndakaedza hove dzegungwa kubva parukova rwePFAS. Oysters akawanikwa aine 2,070 ppt; makango aive ne6,650 ppt; uye rockfish yakasvibiswa ne23,100 ppt yezvinhu.
Izvi zvinhu zvine chepfu. Iyo Environmental Kushanda Boka inoti isu tinofanirwa kuchengetedza kushandiswa kwemakemikari aya pasi pe1 ppt zuva nezuva mumvura yedu yekunwa. Zvinotonyanya kukosha, iyo European Food Safety Authority inoti 86% yePFAS muvanhu inobva muchikafu chavanodya, kunyanya chikafu chegungwa.
Nyika yeMichigan yakaedzwa hove 2,841 yemakemikari akasiyana-siyana ePFAS uye akawana iyo pakati nepakati hove dzaive ne93,000 ppt. yePFOS chete. Zvichakadaro, nyika inoganhurira mvura yekunwa ku16 ppt - nepo vanhu vakasununguka kudya hove pamwe nezviuru zvakapetwa nechetura. Iyo 23,100 ppt inowanikwa mune yedu rockfish inogona kuita senge yakaderera kana ichienzaniswa neyeMichigan avhareji, asi Webster Field haisi hombe huru uye haigone kushandira varwi vakuru veNavy, seF-35. Kuiswa kwakakura kunowanzo kuve nemazinga epamusoro ePFAS.

Kunyangwe iyo navy ichiti, "Iko hakuna parizvino kuzarurirwa nzira yekuenda kuvanhu kubva pakuburitswa kwePFAS kuenda kune kana kudzima mabaseti receptors," ivo vari kungo funga kunwa sosi dzemvura yekunwa, uye kunyangwe ichi chikumbiro chinogona kupokana. Dzimba zhinji munzvimbo zhinji dzevanhu vemuAfrican American Hermanville, idzo dzakatenderedza mativi ekumadokero nekumaodzanyemba kwePax River base, dzinoshandiswa nemvura yemutsime. Iwo maNavy akaramba kuyedza matsime aya, achiti iwo ese maPFAS kubva kuzasi anomhanyira kuChesapeake Bay.
Vane navy vanoti, "Nzira yekutama kune vanogamuchira yakawanikwa iri padhuze nepasi pemuganhu wepasi kuburikidza nematsime emvura yakazvimirira hairatidzike seyakakwana zvinoenderana nemvura yepadenga uye kuyerera kwemvura yepasi. Kuyerera kwekutungamira kwevaviri venhau kuri kure nenharaunda dzakazvimirira dziri kumadokero nekumaodzanyemba kweSiteshi uye nzira yekuyerera yakanangana neRwizi rwePatuxent neChesapeake Bay kuchamhembe nekumabvazuva. "
Iyo navy haisi kuyedza matsime enharaunda nekuti vanoti zvese zvehupfu zviri kudonhera mugungwa. Dhipatimendi rezvehutano reSt. Mary's rinoti rinovimba zvakawanikwa nevashandi vezvikepe maererano nemaputi ane huturu.
Ndokumbirawo, edza kuenda kumusangano weRAB wakarongerwa muna Kubvumbi 28, kubva na6: 00 pm kusvika 7:00 pm. Ona rairo yekujoinha musangano pano.
Iwo maNavy ari kutsvaga mibvunzo kubva kuruzhinji nezvePFAS kuPax River uye Webster Field kuburikidza neemail ku pax_rab@navy.mil Mibvunzo yakatumirwa email ichagamuchirwa kusvika Chishanu, Kubvumbi 16.
