ilahlwe budedengu e-Beale AFB. Imifudlana igijima ibheke eningizimu-ntshonalanga.

Izinkulungwane zamalitha ezinto ze-per-and poly fluoroalkyl, (PFAS) zingcolise amanzi angaphansi komhlaba, amanzi angaphezulu, inhlabathi kanye nezinhlelo zokukhuculula indle ngaphakathi nasezindaweni ezizungezile iBeale Air Force Base, etholakala kumamayela angama-50 enyakatho yeSacramento. Ama-carcinogens anamandla angavamile, aziwa ngokuthi "amakhemikhali angunaphakade" akhona kumagwebu okucisha umlilo i-Air Force ewasebenzise ekuqeqesheni ukulwa nomlilo iminyaka engu-40. I-Air Force iyazi ngomthelela omubi i-PFAS enawo empilweni yabantu cishe isikhathi eside, kodwa iyaqhubeka nokusebenzisa lezi zinto.
I-Beale inemifudlana enoshevu kanye nemithombo yamanzi engaphansi komhlaba enamagwebu abangela umdlavuza. Amanzi angaphansi kukaBeale atholwe equkethe izingxenye ezingama-200,000 isigidintathu se-PFOS ne-PFOA, izinhlobo ezimbili ezibulala kakhulu ze-PFAS.
Ochwepheshe bezempilo yomphakathi baseHarvard bathi i-1 ppt ye-PFAS emanzini okuphuza ingaba yingozi. Lawa makhemikhali adala umdlavuza wezinso, wesibindi, namasende, futhi anomthelela emathubeni okuba nomdlavuza webele. I-PFAS iphinde ibe nesibopho sokungalungi kwengane, i-micro-penis ezinganeni ezisanda kuzalwa, futhi inomthelela enkingeni yezifo zezingane, kusukela ku-ADHD kuya ku-Autism kuya ku-asthma yezingane.
I-US EPA ikhiphe iseluleko sezempilo, okusho ukuthi abantu badinga ukuqaphela imiphumela eyingozi uma amakhemikhali efinyelela izingxenye ezingu-70 nge-trillion (ppt) emanzini okuphuza noma emanzini angaphansi komhlaba, nakuba ingayaleli izinkampani zamanzi ukuthi ziyeke ukunikeza amanzi angcolile kumakhasimende. .
I-California State Water Resources Board Control Board uncoma ukuthi uhlelo lwamanzi luvalwe uma i-PFOA ne-PFOS seziphelele ngaphezu kwama-70 ppt.
Uma amanzi edlula u-5.1 ppt we-PFOA noma u-6.5 ppt wezinhlelo zamanzi ze-PFOS California kumele azise ohulumeni basekhaya ukuthi imikhawulo yeqiwe. Leli inani elincane, elilingana namaconsi ambalwa echibini elilingana ne-Olympic. Ibhodi Lombuso Wamanzi uncoma ukuthi abahlinzeki bamanzi bazise amakhasimende kanye ne-California Division of Drinking Water (DDW). Izikhulu zamanzi zombuso zithi amazinga amasha "ahloselwe ukuvikela umdlavuza kanye nemiphumela engewona umdlavuza, okuhlanganisa nemiphumela esibindini namasosha omzimba."
Ngo-2019 i-DDW yahlola imithombo yomasipala engama-568 ezweni lonke, nakuba ukuhlolwa ngokuvamile kwakungahlangani nokufakwa kwamasosha. I-308 yemithombo (54.2%) itholwe inamakhemikhali e-PFAS ahlukahlukene. I-DDW ayizange ihlole amanzi e-Beale nge-PFAS ngo-2019. Futhi ayizange ihlole iDolobha lase-Wheatland, Isifunda Samanzi saseNyakatho Yuba, Isifunda Samanzi sase-Linda County, Inkampani Yesevisi Yamanzi - i-Marysville, noma i-Olivehurst Public UD.
Abesifazane abakhulelwe akufanele nanini baphuze amanzi aqukethe i-PFAS.
Abahlinzeki bamanzi bakamasipala bangahluza ukungcola ngokusebenzisa izihlungi zekhabhoni ezibizayo okufanele zishintshwe njalo. Ingabe bakwenzela amanzi akho lokho? Shayela i-DDW 916 449-5577 ukuze uqale inqubo yokuthola ukuthi amanzi akho afakwe i-carcinogens evela e-Beale AFB.
Kufanele uthole ukuthi ingakanani i-PFAS emanzini owaphuzayo.
Lokhu kungcoliswa kubeka engcupheni enkulu kubasebenzi abasebenza e-Beale, izakhamuzi ezihlala ezindlini ezisezingeni eliphansi, kanye nalabo abaphuza emithonjeni engaphandle kwesisekelo. Imfuyo, izinyoni, izilwane ezingenamgogodla, izilwane ezincelisayo, izilwane ezihuquzelayo, nezinhlanzi ezihlala noma ezifuduka nge-Beale AFB zithintwa yilezi zidalwa ezinamandla ezibangela umdlavuza.
