Ilahliwe ngokungenankathalo eBeale AFB. Amawa abalekela emazantsi-ntshona.

Amawaka eelitha ze-fluoroalkyl ze-per-and poly fluoroalkyl izinto, (PFAS) zingcolise amanzi aphantsi komhlaba, amanzi angaphezulu komhlaba, umhlaba kunye neesewwing system kunye naseBeale Air Force Base, ekumgama oziikhilomitha ezingama-50 kumantla eSacramento. I-carcinogener enamandla ngokungaqhelekanga, eyaziwa ngokuba "ziikhemikhali ezingapheliyo" ikhona kumadangatye okucima umlilo i-Air Force eyisebenzisileyo kuqeqesho lokucima umlilo kangangesithuba seminyaka engama-40. Umkhosi woMoya uyazi ngokwentlekele eyenzakalisayo kwi-PFAS kwimpilo yoluntu phantse ixesha elide, kodwa iyaqhubeka nokusebenzisa izinto.
IBeale ityhefu imifula kunye namanzi angaphantsi komhlaba kunye namagwebu abangela umhlaza. Amanzi aphantsi komhlaba ka-Beale afunyenwe ene-200,000 yezigidi zeetriliyoni ze-PFOS kunye ne-PFOA, ezimbini zeentlobo ezibulalayo ze-PFAS.
Iingcali zempilo yoluntu zaseHarvard zithi i-1 ppt ye-PFAS emanzini okusela inokuba yingozi. Ezi khemikhali zibangela izintso, isibindi, kunye nomhlaza wamatyhalarha, kwaye zinegalelo kumngcipheko wokuba nomhlaza wamabele. I-PFAS ikwanoxanduva lokungaqheleki kosana olungekazalwa, i-micro-penis kwiintsana ezisanda kuzalwa, kwaye inegalelo kuthotho lwezifo zobuntwana, ukusukela kwi-ADHD ukuya kwi-Autism ukuya kubuntu besifuba.
I-EPA yase-US ikhuphe isiluleko sezempilo, esithetha ukuba abantu kufuneka bayazi ngeziphumo ezinobungozi ukuba imichiza ifikelela kwiindawo ezingama-70 zeetoni (ppt) emanzini okusela okanye kumanzi aphantsi komhlaba, nangona ingayaleli iinkampani zamanzi ukuba ziyeke ukubonelela abathengi ngamanzi angcolisekileyo. .
IBhodi yokuLawulwa kweMithombo yaManzi yaseCalifornia khuthaza ukuba inkqubo yokuvalwa kwamanzi ivaliwe ukuba i-PFOA kunye ne-PFOS zizonke zingaphezulu kwe-70 ppt.
Ukuba amanzi agqitha kwi-5.1 ppt ye-PFOA okanye i-6.5 ppt yeenkqubo zamanzi ze-PFOS zase-California kufuneka azise oorhulumente basekhaya ukuba imida igqithile. Esi sisixa esincinci, silingana namaconsi ambalwa echibini lomgangatho weOlimpiki. IBhodi yaManzi yeLizwe khuthaza ukuba ababoneleli bamanzi bazise abathengi kunye neCandelo lase-California lamanzi okusela (i-DDW). Amagosa asebusweni amanzi athi amanqanaba amatsha "enzelwe ukukhusela isifo somhlaza kunye nemiphumela engeyiyo yomhlaza, kubandakanya nefuthe kwisibindi kunye nokulwa nomzimba."
Ngo-2019 i-DDW yavavanya amaqula kamasipala angama-568 kulo lonke ilizwe, nangona uvavanyo ngokubanzi lwalukude kufakelo lomkhosi. Ama-308 emithombo (i-54.2%) yafunyanwa iqulethe iintlobo zeekhemikhali ze-PFAS. I-DDW ayiwavavanyanga amanzi ka-Beale e-PFAS kwi-2019. Kananjalo ayizange ivavanye isiXeko sase Wheatland, iSithili saManzi saseMantla Yuba, iSithili saManzi saseLinda County, iNkampani yeNkonzo yamanzi eCal-Watersville, okanye i-Olivehurst kaRhulumente UD.
Abafazi abakhulelweyo akufuneki basele amanzi ane-PFAS.
Ababoneleli bamanzi bakaMasipala banokukucoca ukungcola ngokusebenzisa izihluzi zekhabhoni ezibiza kakhulu ekufuneka zitshintshwe rhoqo. Ngaba bayakwenzela oko amanzi akho? Tsalela umnxeba i-DDW 916 449-5577 ukuqala inkqubo yokufumanisa ukuba amanzi akho agalelwe ii-carcinogens ezivela eBeale AFB.
Kuya kufuneka ufumanise ukuba ingakanani iPFAS kumanzi oselayo.
Ungcoliseko lubeka emngciphekweni umngcipheko omkhulu kubasebenzi abasebenza e-Beale, abahlali abahlala kwizindlu ezisesiseko, nakwabo basela kwimithombo engasasebenzi. Imfuyo, iintaka, i-invertebrates, izilwanyana ezanyisayo, iinyamakazi kunye neentlanzi ezihlala okanye ezifudukela kwi-Beale AFB zichaphazeleka zezi zinto zinamandla zibangela umhlaza.
