US Air Force e re ha e emise tšebeliso ea eona ea libetsa tsa Uranium e senyehileng, e sa tsoa e romela ho Middle East, 'me e ikemiselitse ho e sebelisa.
Mofuta oa sefofane, A-10, se rometsoeng khoeling ena Middle East ke 122nd Fighter Wing ea US Air National Guard, e ikarabella bakeng sa tšilafalo e ngata ea Uranium (DU) ho feta sethala sefe kapa sefe, ho latela Mokhatlo oa Machaba oa Ban Uranium Libetsa (ICBUW). "Boima ba boima ba 'mele le palo ea mekoloko e meng e sebelisitsoeng ho feta 30mm PGU-14B ammo ho sebelisitsoe ho feta mokoloko o mong le o mong," ho boletse mohokahanyi oa ICBUW Doug Weir, ha a bua ka likulo tse sebelisoang ke A-10s, ha li bapisoa le likulo tsa DU tse sebelisoang ke litanka.
Mookameli oa litaba tsa sechaba Master Sgt. Darin L. Hubble oa 122nd Fighter Wing o ile a mpolella hore li-A-10 hona joale Middle East hammoho le "300 ea ba rona ba moea ba hloahloa ka ho fetesisa" li rometsoe moo ka thomello e reriloeng lilemong tse peli tse fetileng mme ha ba so abeloe ho nka karolo ntoeng e teng hona joale Iraq kapa Syria, empa "seo se ka fetoha neng kapa neng."
Basebetsi ba tla kenya mekotla ea uranium e seng e felile ea PGU-14 ka har'a likanono tsa bona tsa 30mm Gatling ebe ba li sebelisa kamoo ho hlokahalang, ho boletse Hubble. "Haeba tlhoko ke ho phatloha ho hong - mohlala, tanka - e tla sebelisoa."
'Muelli oa Pentagon, Mark Wright o ile a mpolella, "Ha ho na thibelo khahlano le ts'ebeliso ea mekhahlelo ea Uranium e felileng, mme [sesole sa US] sea li sebelisa. Ts'ebeliso ea DU mokhoeng oa ho hlaba lihlomo e lumella litanka tsa sera hore li senyehe habonolo. ”
Ka Labone, lichaba tse 'maloa, ho akarelletsa le Iraq, e buile ho Komiti ea Pele ea Machaba a Kopaneng, khahlanong le tšebeliso ea Uranium e senyehileng le ho tšehetsa ho ithuta le ho fokotsa tšenyo ea libaka tse seng li silafalitsoe. E sa tlamehang Qeto ho lebeletsoe ho behoa ke Komiti beke ena, ho khothaletsa lichaba tse sebelisitseng DU hore li fane ka tlhahisoleseding libakeng tse lebisitsoeng. Mekhatlo e mengata e fana ka boipiletso ho ba boholong United States bekeng ena e ba khothalletsa hore ba se ke ba hanyetsa qeto eo.
Ho 2012 qeto mabapi le DU e tšehelitsoe ke linaha tse 155 mme e hanyetsoa ke UK, US, France le Israel feela. Lichaba tse 'maloa li thibetse DU, mme ka Phuptjane Iraq e ile ea etsa tlhahiso ea tumellano ea lefats'e ea ho e thibela - mohato o tšehelitsoeng hape ke Paramente ea Europe le Latin America.
Wright o re sesole sa US "se sebetsana le matšoenyeho mabapi le ts'ebeliso ea DU ka ho batlisisa mefuta e meng ea lisebelisoa bakeng sa ts'ebeliso e ka bang teng metseng ea lithuso, empa ka litholoana tse fapaneng. Tungsten e na le mefokolo e itseng ts'ebetsong ea eona mefuteng ea ho phunya lihlomo, hammoho le mathata a mang a bophelo bo botle a ipapisitseng le sephetho sa lipatlisiso tsa liphoofolo ho li-alloys tse nang le tungsten. Patlisiso e ntse e tsoela pele sebakeng sena ho fumana mokhoa o mong ho fapana le DU o amoheloang habonolo ke sechaba, hape o sebetsang ka mokhoa o khotsofatsang mampong. ”
"Ke tšaba hore DU ke Agent Orange ea moloko ona," Congressman oa Amerika Jim McDermott o ile a mpolella. “Ho bile le keketseho e kholo ea kankere ea mali ea bongoana le likoli tsa tsoalo Iraq ho tloha nakong ea Ntoa ea Kou le tlhaselo ea rona e latelang ka 2003. Liqhomane tsa DU li ile tsa sebelisoa lintoeng tseo ka bobeli. Hape ho na le litlhahiso tse tebileng tsa hore libetsa tsa DU li bakile mathata a tebileng a bophelo bo botle bakeng sa bahlabani ba rona ba Ntoa ea Iraq. Ke belaella ts'ebeliso ea libetsa tsena ho fihlela sesole sa US se etsa lipatlisiso tse felletseng ka phello ea masala a libetsa tsa DU bathong. ”
Doug Weir oa ICBUW o re ts'ebeliso e nchafalitsoeng ea DU ho la Iraq e tla ba "mohopolo oa leshano bakeng sa ISIS." Mekhatlo ea hae le e meng e hanyetsanang le DU e shebile ka hloko ho tloha ha US ho tloha DU, eo sesole sa US se reng ha e e sebelise Libya ka 2011. Master Sgt. Hubble oa 122nd Fighter Wing o lumela hore eo e ne e mpa e le qeto ea maano feela. Empa khatello ea sechaba e ne e tlisitsoe ke baitseki le lipalamente tsa linaha tse kopaneng, le boitlamo ba UK ba ho se sebelise DU.
DU e khethoa e le Sehlopha sa 1 Cancer ka Mokhatlo oa Lefatše oa Bophelo, le bopaki bo ea tšenyo ea bophelo e hlahisoang ke tšebeliso ea eona e pharaletseng. Tšenyo e ekelitsoe, Jeena Shah Setsing sa Litokelo tsa Molao oa Motheo (CCR) o mpolelitse, ha sechaba se sebelisang DU se hana ho khetholla libaka tse lebisitsoeng. Ho silafala ho kena mobu le metsi. Lisebelisoa tse koahetsoeng tse silafalitsoeng li sebelisoa liindasteri kapa li entsoe ka lipitsa tsa ho pheha kapa li bapala le bana.
CCR le Bahlabani ba Iraq khahlanong le Ntoa ba hlahisitse a Kopo ya Molao oa Tokoloho ea Boitsebiso ka boiteko ba ho ithuta libaka tse lebisitsoeng Iraq nakong ea morao le ka mor'a 1991 le 2003. UK le Netherlands ba senoletse libaka tse hlaselitsoeng, Shah o ile a bolela, joalo ka NATO e latelang le sebelisoang linaheng tsa Balkan. 'Me United States e senoletse libaka tseo ho neng ho e-na le lihlopha tsa limmoulo tsa cluster ho tsona. Joale ke hobane'ng ha hona joale?
"Ho se ho fetile lilemo," Shah o itse, "US e hanne kamano lipakeng tsa DU le mathata a bophelo bo botle ho baahi le maqheku. Boithuto ba likhukhuni tsa UK bo khothaletsa khokahano haholo. US ha e batle hore lithuto li etsoe. ” Ntle le moo, United States e sebelisitse DU ho libaka tsa sechaba mme ho khetholla libaka tseo ho ka fana ka maikutlo a tlōlo ea Likopano tsa Geneva.
Lingaka tsa Iraq li tla paka ka tšenyo e entsoeng ke DU pele ho Tom Lantos Komeshene ea Litokelo Tsa Botho Washington, DC ka December.
Ho sa le joalo, Obama Administration e boletse ka bone hore e tla sebelisa $ 1.6 milione ho leka ho lemoha liketso tse mabifi tse entsoeng Iraq. . . ke ISIS.
