Abacimi bomlilo basemkhosini kunye nabahlali bavezwa kwiikhemikhali ezibangela umhlaza kwizixhobo zokujika, ugwebu lokucima umlilo, kunye nothuli kwizikhululo zomlilo. Uvavanyo lwegazi linyathelo lokuqala lokuthintela izifo.
Sele kudlule iinyanga ezine ukususela ekupapashweni kwe IsiKhokelo kuVavanyo lwePFAS kunye neZiphumo zezeMpilo, uphononongo olwenziwa yiNational Academies of Sciences, Engineering, Medicine, (National Academies). Iziko leSizwe ngamaziko eNkulumbuso aseMelika adalwe nguMongameli uLincoln ngo-1863 ukuphanda imiba yesayensi kurhulumente wase-US.
Iziko leSizwe licebisa uvavanyo lwegazi kunye nokujongwa kwezonyango kubantu abanokuthi babe sesichengeni esiphezulu kwiikhemikhali eziyityhefu ezaziwa ngokuba yi-per-kunye ne-poly fluoroalkyl substances, (PFAS). Iziko leSizwe lijongene ngqo nemfuno engxamisekileyo yokufikelela kwabo batyhilekileyo ngeendlela zemisebenzi, ngakumbi abacimi-mlilo.
Ngaba ukho umntu onikela ingqalelo?
I-PFAS bioaccumulate emizimbeni yethu, nto leyo ethetha ukuba ayisaphuli kwaye ayidluli kuthi, njengezinye iityhefu ezininzi. Yiyo into eyahlula i-PFAS kwezinye ii-carcinogens ezininzi kwindawo yethu.
Uninzi lwabacimi bomlilo, kubandakanywa nabantu abaye bathatha umhlala-phantsi kwiminyaka eyadlulayo, banokuthi banyuse ngokuyingozi amanqanaba e-PFAS egazini labo ukusuka ekuvezweni kwi-carcinogens ukusuka kwi-gear turnout, igwebu lokucima umlilo, kunye nomoya kunye nothuli kwizikhululo zomlilo kunye nee-hangars zeenqwelomoya.
Ukuvezwa kwePFAS kuye kwadityaniswa nomhlaza olandelayo, ngelixa izifundo ezinzulu ziqhubeka, (Jonga amakhonkco angezantsi)
