Abacishi bomlilo bezempi nabavamile bavezwa amakhemikhali abangela umdlavuza egiyeni lokuphuma, igwebu lokucisha umlilo, nothuli eziteshini zomlilo. Ukuhlolwa kwegazi kuyisinyathelo sokuqala sokuvimbela izifo.
Sekudlule izinyanga ezine kwashicilelwa Isiqondiso Ekuhlolweni kwe-PFAS kanye Nemiphumela Yezempilo, ucwaningo olwenziwa yiNational Academies of Sciences, Engineering, Medicine, (National Academies). I-National Academies yizikhungo eziphambili zaseMelika ezakhiwa nguMongameli uLincoln ngo-1863 ukuze aphenyele izindaba zesayensi kuhulumeni wase-US.
I-National Academies incoma ukuhlolwa kwegazi nokuqapha kwezokwelapha kubantu okungenzeka babe nokuchayeka okuphezulu kumakhemikhali anobuthi aziwa ngokuthi yi-per-and poly fluoroalkyl substances, (PFAS). Izikhungo Zezemfundo Zikazwelonke zibhekana ngqo nesidingo esiphuthumayo sokufinyelela labo abachayeka emizileni yemisebenzi, ikakhulukazi abacimi bomlilo.
Ingabe ukhona omnakile?
I-PFAS bioccumulate emizimbeni yethu, okusho ukuthi ayiphuli futhi ayidluli kithi, njengamanye ubuthi obuningi. Yilokho okuhlukanisa i-PFAS kwamanye ama-carcinogens amaningi endaweni yethu.
Izicishamlilo eziningi, okuhlanganisa nabantu abake bathatha umhlalaphansi eminyakeni edlule, kungenzeka ukuthi banyuse ngokuyingozi amazinga e-PFAS egazini labo kusukela ekuchayekeni amagciwane avela egiyeni lokucisha umlilo, igwebu lokucisha umlilo, nomoya nothuli eziteshini zomlilo nama-hangars esikhumulweni sezindiza.
Ukuchayeka kwe-PFAS kuxhunyaniswe nalawa makhaza alandelayo, kuyilapho izifundo ezijulile zisaqhubeka, (Bheka izixhumanisi ezingezansi)
