Ukuba kukho iqela labantu baseMelika abaye bahlangabezana neempembelelo zezempilo ze-uranium, iibhomu zeqoqo, i-phosphorus ezimhlophe kunye nazo zonke iintlobo zeemfazwe zemfazwe ziyakuboniswa, ngaba ngaba ngabahlali abamnyama nabaninzi abasemakhaya base Gibsland, ngasentla Louisiana.
Nantsi indlela i-op-ed kwi ENew York Times ukusuka kumntu ohlala kuyo uchaza imeko yabo:
“Kangangeminyaka, omnye wabaqeshi abakhulu kulo mmandla yayiliZiko Lombutho Wezomkhosi eLouisiana, malunga neekhilomitha ezine ukusuka eMinden. I-Arhente yokuKhuselwa kokusiNgqongileyo ekugqibeleni yadwelisa isityalo njengendawo yokubuyiselwa kwemali kuba ngaphezulu kweminyaka engama-40 amanzi angcolileyo anganyangekiyo aqhutywa zizinto ezivela kwimizi-mveliso aqokelelwa kwisamente kwindawo nganye yokulayisha umthwalo, 'yaza yakhutshelwa kwi'16 yehektare amadike amanzi apinki. '”
Kwaye ngoku (ukusuka Truthout.org):
"Emva kweenyanga zengxabano ezinobulungisa phakathi kwe-Army kunye ne-arhente yombutho, i-Arhente yokuKhuselwa kweNdalo (i-EPA) isandul 'isicwangciso esiphuthumayo sokutshisa ii-15 izigidigidi zeM6 - ukuya kuma-80,000 iilidi ngosuku ngosuku oluvulekileyo 'ukutshaya iitrayi' eCamp Minden, inkqubo yokulahlwa kwezinto ezithinteleyo zendalo zithi ziphelelwe yisikhathi kwaye ziye zahlanjululwa kwamanye amazwe. Ukusebenza kwakuya kubakho imimandla evulekileyo evulekile kwimbali yase-US. "
Rhoqo ngexeshana-elijikeleze iVique okanye iJeju Island okanye iPagan Island - imibutho yezendalo izifumana ijongene nekona enye encinci owona tshabalalisi wendalo. Ngelixa amaqela amakhulu okusingqongileyo kubonakala ngathi akunakulindeleka kwiziko lemfazwe uqobo kude kube lixesha, kufuneka sithathe la mathuba ukubakhuthaza. Kuba banjalo kuthatha umkhosi malunga noku kutsha. Baninzi abo babesakuba ngamalungu omkhosi wase-US abanokubaxelela malunga nefuthe lezempilo lokutsha kwamanye amazwe, lawo amagqala abhekisa kuwo njengo “entsha Agent Orange. ” I-EPA inokugcwalisa abasebatsha ukuba ngubani odale ezona ntlekele zingqongileyo eMelika. Inqaku: Iqala ngamamiliyoni kunye nemvanozandi zodwa.
Eyona nto iphambili kwiimfazwe ezithile ngumnqweno wokulawula izixhobo ezinetyhefu emhlabeni, ngakumbi ioyile kunye negesi. Leyo nyani, ihlala ifihliwe, kufanele ukuba ijongane nathi sichaphazelekayo ngekamva lomhlaba. Iimfazwe azikhuseli thina kodwa yingozi, ngesizukulwana sobutshaba nokonakaliswa komhlaba. Ukuveliswa komkhosi omkhulu emhlabeni, oyinkcitho eyakha yamosha ayisiyonto yokhuselo kwimeko yemfazwe elungileyo, kodwa kanye le nto uEisenhower wayilumkisayo ukuba iyakuba yiyo, umvelisi weemfazwe. I-1 yezigidigidi zeedola eMelika zilahla kumatshini wemfazwe unyaka nonyaka ku funeka ukukhuselwa ngokukhawuleza kokusingqongileyo. Kwaye imilungiselelo yemfazwe ayiyicebisi; ngayo si sondeza ngelixa ujolisa ubutyebi kude neendawo ezinjengeGibsland. Kuninzi kakhulu ezantsi eziko elinomsebenzi ophambili kukwenza bulala abaninzi abantu abangenacala ngelixa sisusa inkululeko yoluntu.
Kodwa, ukubuyela kwindawo engqongileyo. Neoli. I-oyile inokutsha okanye ifakwe, njengaseMfazwe weGulf, kodwa ngokuyinhloko isetyenziswe kuzo zonke iindidi zobutshya ezingcolisa umhlaba, zibeka sonke esichengeni. Abanye badibanisa ukusetyenziswa kweoli kunye nokuthiwa ubuqaqawuli kunye nobuqhawe bemfazwe, ukuze amandla avuselelekayo angangobungozi bentlekele yehlabathi ayabonwa njengeendlela ezikhohlakeleyo kunye nokungabikho kwamanye amazwe okubasa uomatshini bethu. Ukusebenzisana kwemfazwe ngeoli kuyaphaya koko, nangona kunjalo. Iimfazwe ngokwazo, nokuba zingalwanga okanye zilwa neoli, zichithe ubuninzi balo. Omnye umthengi ophezulu weoli, eqinisweni, nguye umkhosi waseMelika.
Umkhosi wase-US utshisa malunga ne-340,000 yemiphanda yeoyile suku ngalunye. Ukuba iPentagon ibililizwe, ibizakubeka indawo yama-38 ngaphandle kwe-196 ekusetyenzisweni kweoyile. Alikho nje elinye iziko eliza kude kude nomkhosi kule okanye ezinye iintlobo zokutshatyalaliswa kwendalo. (Kodwa zama ukuyifumana loo nyaniso kuhambo oluchasene nemibhobho.)
Ingqongileyo njengoko siyazi ukuba ayiyi kuphila imfazwe yenyukliya. Kwakhona kungenakuphila "imfazwe" yesizwe, kuqondwa ukuba ithetha iindidi zemfazwe ngoku eziye zenziwa. Umonakalo omkhulu uye wenziwa ngeemfazwe kunye nophando, ukuvavanywa, kunye nemveliso eyenziwa ukulungiselela iimfazwe. Iimfa kwiminyaka yakutshanje zenze iindawo ezininzi ezingahlaliyo kwaye zavelisa amashumi ezigidi zababaleki. Imfazwe "isichaphazela izifo ezithathelwanayo ngenxa yehlabathi elibangela ukuxhatshazwa nokufa," ngokutsho kukaJennifer Ukuxhomekeka kweHarvard Medical School.
Mhlawumbi izixhobo ezifa kakhulu ezishiywe emva kweemfazwe yimigodi yomhlaba kunye neibhola zeqoqo. Iingamashumi ezigidi zazo ziqikelelwa zilele emhlabeni, zingaboni naziphi na izimemezelo zokuvakalisa uxolo. Uninzi lwabo lwabaxhoba luluntu, ipesenti enkulu yabantwana.
Kuyamangalisa ukuba nemibutho ngokuphindaphindiweyo inselele kwimimiselo ethile yemfazwe yokubhubhisa ibangela. Ngezantsi i ileta ukuba yonke inxaxheba uxolo kunye nendawo yokusingqongileyo kunye nentlalo-ntle kwihlabathi kufuneka ibhalisele kuyo:

ITHETHA NGOMSEBENZI WEMISEBENZI
INGXELO: Ephakanyisiwe Ukuvutha kweM6 Propellants eCamp Minden, eLouisana
Gileli oMncedisi weGileyile,
Thina, imibutho eyabhalisiwe, ijoyina izakhamuzi zaseLouanaana, abasebenzi kunye neentsapho kwiifowuni zabo zokufumana indawo ekhuselekileyo yokuvula ukutsha kwezinto ezinobungozi eCamp Minden.
Siyichasa isicwangciso se-Arhente ye-Environmental Protection Agency (OPEN BURN 15 million) yeeplani ezilahlekileyo ze-M6 e-Camp Minden, eLouisana. Ngencazelo, ukuvutha okuvulekileyo akukho mandla okulawula ukukhutshwa kombane kwaye kuya kubangela ukukhululwa okungalawulwayo kweemveliso eziyingozi kunye neengxube zengqungquthela kwimvelo. I-M6 iqulethe malunga neepesenti ze-10 i-dinitrotoluene (i-DNT) ekwahlulwa njengesifo se-carcinogen yabantu.1
Ingxubusho yengozi yempilo yomntu eyenziwa ngokutshisa okuvulekileyo / ukuvulelwa okuvulekileyo kunye nokuchaphazela ukusingqongileyo emoyeni, umhlaba kunye namanzi kufuna ukuba imikhosi ichonge kwaye iphucule iindlela zokuvula ukutshiswa / ukukhutshwa ngokukhutshwa komzimba .2 Ngaphezu koko, njengoko Isicwangciso se-EPA sinikeza ukuphathwa okukhuselekileyo nokuthutha kwindawo evulekileyo, ezi ndawo ziyakuthi zihanjiswe kwenye indawo yonyango okanye inkqubo.
Nangona sisekela iqhinga lika-EPA ukufuna ukuba i-Army yase-US ihlambulule kwaye ilahle ezi ndawo zigcinwe ngokungafanelekanga, asixhasi ukutshisa okuvulekileyo njengendlela yokulungisa ingozi ekhuselekileyo kunye nokukhuseleka kwimpilo yabantu kunye nemeko.
