Amalungu enkonzo angaphezu kwama-600,000 kumaziko omkhosi ali-116 ayenikezelwa minyaka le ngamanzi anomlinganiselo ongakhuselekanga wetyhefu “iikhemikhali ngonaphakade”eyaziwa ngokuba yiPFAS, ngokutsho kwe Uhlalutyo lweQela eliSebenzayo lokusiNgqongileyo.
Uphononongo lwangaphakathi olwenziwa liSebe lezoKhuselo ukusukela ngo-Epreli luqukumbele ukuba iPentagon isebenzise amanzi angakhuselekanga aqulathe iPFOA kunye nePFOS - ezona zimbini zidumileyo PFAS - kumalungu angama-175,000 ngonyaka kufakelo lwe-24. Olo phononongo lubalwe kuphela amalungu enkonzo kufakelo olunikezelwa ngamanzi kunye namanqanaba ePFOA kunye nePFOS enkulu kuneengxenye ze-70 ngetriliyoni nganye, okanye i-ppt, inqanaba leengcebiso elibekwe yi-Arhente yoKhuseleko lweNdalo kwi-2016. Kodwa i-arhente ngoJuni yaqinisa loo nqanaba, ukuya ngaphantsi kwe 1 ppt.
Uhlalutyo lwe-DOD aluzange luquke amanzi okusela amalungu enkonzo athengwe kuncedo lwamanzi asekuhlaleni okanye kwiinkqubo zabucala ezikwisiseko samanzi, ekusenokwenzeka ukuba osulelwe yimichiza.
I-DOD ayikalupapashi uvavanyo, lomhla we-18 ka-Epreli, 2022, ukuya kuyo iwebhusayithi yePFAS yoluntu, ukwenza ukuba ingafumaneki kuluntu okanye kumalungu enkonzo, ngaphandle kokuba kwenziwe isicelo. Ingxelo yagunyaziswa ngu Congress kuhlahlo lwabiwo-mali lwezokhuselo luka-2019.
Inani lamalungu enkonzo anikezela ngamanzi angcolisekileyo linokuba likhulu ngakumbi kunoqikelelo lwe-EWG, oluxhomekeke kuphononongo lovavanyo lwenkqubo yamanzi oluxelwe esidlangalaleni kunye neerekhodi zeDOD.

I-EWG ichonge ngaphezulu Iindawo ze-DOD ezingama-400 ngongcoliseko lwePFAS olwaziwayo emhlabeni okanye emanzini okusela. Ukusetyenziswa kwegwebu lokucima umlilo elenziwe ngePFAS ngowona mthombo wolu ngcoliseko. I-PFAS inokufudukela kumaqula asetyenziswa yi-DOD kumanzi okusela, ngokuxhomekeke kwiimeko ezijongene nesiza.
I-PFAS yaziwa ngokuba “ziikhemikhali zanaphakade” kuba xa sele ikhutshiwe kwindawo ayiqhekezi kwaye inokwakhelana egazini nakumalungu ethu. Ukuvezwa kwiPFAS kwandisa umngcipheko womhlaza, yonakalisa ukukhula kombungu kwaye kunciphisa ukusebenza kwezitofu zokugonya. Igazi phantse bonke abantu baseMelika bosulelwe yiPFAS, ngokutsho Centres for Disease Control and Prevention.
Uvavanyo lwangaphakathi lwe-DOD luyaqaphela uninzi lwezi nzakalo, kodwa aluhoyi umngcipheko owonyukayo wezintso kunye nomhlaza wetyhalarha ukusuka ekuvezweni kwePFAS, ebhalwe kakuhle ngamanye amaxesha. arhente.
I-DOD ikwakhuphele ngaphandle isiphumo sePFAS kwimpilo kamama kunye nomntwana ngenxa yokuba uphononongo lwayo "lugxile kumalungu omkhosi kunye namagqala." Izifundo zibonisa ukuba malunga 13,000 amalungu enkonzo abeleka minyaka le, kwaye amalungu osapho amaninzi ahlala kufakelo DOD.
"Ukuvezwa kwe-PFAS ngexesha lokukhulelwa kunye nobuntwaneni kunxulunyaniswa neengozi ezininzi zempilo, kubandakanya uxinzelelo lwegazi olubangelwa ukukhulelwa, ubunzima bokuzalwa, ixesha elifutshane lokuncancisa, ukuphazamiseka kwegilo, ukunciphisa ukusebenza kokugonya kunye nokwenzakala kwiinkqubo zokuzala," utshilo i-EWG Toxicologist.
