I-PFAS: Yintoni abayiyo kunye nendlela yokuziphepha

Le “Michiza yaPhakade” ikho into ebonakala ngathi ngunaphakade, kodwa isandula ukuqalisa ukuba sematheni. Nantsi into ekufuneka uyazi malunga nezi khompawundi ezikhathazayo.

Kwihlabathi esiphila kulo namhlanje, isuphu yealfabhethi yee-akhronimi zezinto ezilungileyo nezimbi inokwenza ingqondo yakho ivakale ngathi yi-mush. Kodwa kukho enye okhe wayibona iphuma ngakumbi nangakumbi. Kwaye kufanelekile ukukhumbula.

I-PFAS, okanye “iiKhemikhali ezingunaphakade” ludidi lweekhemikhali ezenziwe ngabantu ezisetyenziswa kakhulu (njengalapho, zifunyenwe kuyo yonke into ukusuka kwigazi lomntu ukuya kwikhephu le-arctic), kwaye phantse akunakwenzeka ukutshabalalisa.

PFAS 101: Yintoni ekufuneka uyazi

Zabakho njani ezi zinto (kwaye ngoba)? I-PFAS, imfutshane ye-per- kunye ne-poly-fluoroalkyl izinto, ekuqaleni zadalwa ngenxa yokukwazi ukuxhathisa amanzi, i-oyile, ubushushu kunye namafutha. Yaqanjwa emva phayaa ngeminyaka yee-1940 ngabavelisi beTeflon, ifumaneka kwizinto ezifana ne-cookware engeyiyo intonga, iimpahla ezingangeni manzi, kunye nokupakishwa kokutya. I-PFAS iyaqhubeka nokusingqongileyo kwaye iyaxhathisa kangangokuba akukaziwa ngokuthe ngqo ukuba kuthatha ixesha elingakanani ukuba baphuke ngokupheleleyo.

Ukusukela ekuzalweni kwabo kwi-'40s, I-PFAS yaziwa phantsi kwamagama amaninzi ahlukeneyo. Teflon, BPA, BPB, PFOS, PFNA,uluhlu luyaqhubeka . Kubathengi, oku kwenza izinto zidideke ngokungeyomfuneko. Ngoku, iikhompawundi ezingaphezu kwe-12,000 ezenza uhlobo oluthile lwe "Chemical Forever" zaziwa phantsi kwegama lePFAS.

Ingxaki ngePFAS

Ukunyuka kwenkxalabo ejikeleze iPFAS kubangelwa ikakhulu kwimpembelelo yabo kwimpilo yabantu. Ezi khemikhali ziye zanxulunyaniswa nemiba emininzi yezempilo,kubandakanywa iingxaki zokuzala ezifana nobudlolo kunye neziphene ezinzulu zokuzalwa, ukonakala kwesibindi, ukugonywa okuphantsi, kunye nomngcipheko okhulayo womhlaza othile. Nokuba ixabiso elincinci lePFAS linokubangela iziphumo ezibi zempilo. Ngenxa yokuba i-PFAS iyinto engenakwenzeka ukutshabalalisa, uloyiko lwento enokwenzeka ngenxa yokuvezwa kwexesha elide kwiikhemikhali kukhulu.

Kuba iPFAS ngoku ikhona phantse kuwo wonke umntu osemhlabeni, ukufunda iziphumo zayo kanye kunzima ukuyiqonda. Into esiyaziyo kukuba ukunciphisa ukuba sesichengeni kwezi khemikhali akuzange kubaluleke ngakumbi.

UyiNqanda njani iPFAS: Iingcebiso ezisi-8

1. Ziphephe ii-Non-Stick Cookware

Khumbula iTeflon?Yayiyi-PFAS yokuqala. Ukusukela ngoko, iPFAS kwi-cookware ayihambanga, nangona i-compound ethile eyenza iTeflon ngokwayo ivaliwe. Endaweni yoko, iikhemikhali zanaphakade kwi-kitchenware zitshintshile, ziphinda zizenzele amagama amatsha. Ngenxa yoku, kunzima ukuthemba uninzi lweenketho ze-cookware ezingabambekiyo, kwanabo bathi "ayi-PFOS-free." Kungenxa yokuba iPFOS yenye kuphela amawaka eentlobo zeekhemikhali zePFAS.

Ngaba ufuna ubhejo olukhuselekileyo olugcina intloko ebuhlungu? Gcwalisa ikhitshi lakho ngeendlela ezithembekileyo ezinqanda ukubhideka kweelebhile. Ezi ziqukaintsimbi, intsimbi ye-carbon, kunye ne-100% ye-ceramic cookware.Ezi zithandwa zabapheki ezihlala ixesha elide zomelele, azinakhemikhali, kwaye zisebenza njengekhubalo.

Icebiso elongezelelekileyo: Cinga ngesixhobo sakho sokupheka njengokuba ucinga ngokutya kwakho. Buza imibuzo malunga nokuba yenziwe ngantoni, yenziwa njani, kwaye ingaba isempilweni/ikhuselekile kuwe. Qhubeka uqokelela ulwazi ude ube nezibakala zokwenza isigqibo esinolwazi! 

2. Tyala imali kwisihluzo saManzi

Uphononongo lwakutsha nje lwemithombo yamanzi etephu kulo lonke elase-US luphele ngenani elothusayo:ngaphezulu kwe-45% yamanzi epompo aqulethe uhlobo oluthile lwePFAS.

Iindaba ezilungileyo? Imithetho emitsha yomanyano iya kufuna uvavanyo kunye nokulungiswa ukuqinisekisa ukhuseleko lwamanzi ethu. Kodwa, kude kube ngoko, cinga ngokuthatha izinto ezandleni zakho.Izihluzi zamanzi ezininzi, zombini ngaphantsi kwe-countertop kunye ne-pitcher options , okwangoku zenzelwe ukususa ngempumelelo iPFAS emanzini. Nangona kunjalo, ayizizo zonke izihluzi ezifanayo. Khangela izihluzi eziqinisekiswa ngumntu wesithathu, njengeSiseko seSizwe soGutyulo okanye uMbutho woMgangatho waManzi.

3. Khetha iiMveliso zokuCoca ngeNdalo

Ngaba uceba ukugcina ikhaya lakho licocekile ngakumbi ukuze unqande iPFAS? Ukuqinisekisa ukuba imizamo yakho ayilolize, jonga ngokusondeleyo kwiimveliso zakho zokucoca. Uninzi lwabacoci besiqhelo luqulathe ezi khemikhali,abanye ngezixa eziphezulu.

Kodwa, izisombululo ezikhuselekileyo nezisebenzayo zokucoca zininzi! SiyathandaIimveliso ezingcono. Zenziwe ngezithako ezilula ezifana nesoda yokubhaka kunye neoyile yekhokhonathi, kwaye zihlala zingenayo iPFAS. Khangela izatifikethi ezifanaIKHUSELEKILEukwazi ukuba iimveliso ozikhethayo zicocekile njengoko zikhangeleka.

4. Hlala Kude Kukutya Okupakishweyo

Ii-PFAs zinokungena ekutyeni kwizinto zokupakisha, ezinje ngeengxowa zepopcorn zemicrowave kunye nezisongelo zokutya okukhawulezayo. Nciphisa indlela otya ngayo ukutya okusetyenzwayo kunye nokupakishiweyo, kwaye ukhethe ukutya okutsha, okugcweleyo xa kunokwenzeka.

Ingcebiso yebhonasi: Xa usiya evenkileni, yiza neengxowa zelaphu ukuze ubeke imveliso eninzi kunye neempahla ezomisiweyo. Uya kunciphisa ukusebenzisa kwakho iplastiki kwaye uqinisekise ukuba ukutya kwakho kuchukumisa imathiriyeli yendalo kuphela.

5. Lumkela Imithombo yeentlanzi

Ngelixa intlanzi ingumthombo omkhulu weprotheyini esempilweni, ezinye iintlobo zeentlanzi ziphezulu kakhulu kwi-PFAS. Okulusizi kukuba, imilambo emininzi namanye amanzi angcoliswe kakhulu, yaye ezi zinto zingcolisa umzimba zidlulela kwiintlanzi ezihlala kufutshane.

Iintlanzi zamanzi acocekileyo zifunyenwe zinamanqanaba aphezulu ePFAS , kwaye kufuneka iphetshwe kwiindawo ezininzi. Xa uthenga intlanzi kwindawo entsha, kuyacetyiswa ukuba uphande ngazo naziphi na iingcebiso ezinokuthi zibekho kuloo mthombo.

6. Thenga Impahla Yempahla Yendalo

I-PFAS idla ngokufunyanwa (kumanqanaba aphezulu kakhulu) kwimpahla engenamanzi, engangeni manzi, okanye eneempawu ezingevani namabala. Oku kuthetha ukuba izinto ezifanaiimpahla zokuzilolonga, iileya zemvula, kunye nehempe yakho yemihla ngemihla kusenokwenzeka ukuba inala michiza.

Ngelixa iinkampani ezininzi, ezinje ngePatagonia, zithembise ukukhupha yonke iPFAS kule minyaka izayo, iindlela ezininzi ezikhuselekileyo ezisele zikhona. Kwaye enye yeendlela zokuqinisekisa iimpahla ezicocekileyo kukuqala ngezinto zendalo. Jonga izinto ezenziwe nge-100% yomqhaphu ophilayo, i-hemp, kunye ne-bamboo. Qiniseka kwaye ujonge kabini ukuba into oyithengileyo ayinazo iikhemikhali ezongeziweyo okanye unyango.

7. Funda iileyibhile zeMveliso yakho yokuKhathalela

Iimveliso ezifana neshampu, isepha, kunye nezinto zobuhle ziqhele ukwenziwa ngeMichiza engapheliyo. Ulusu lwakho lelona lungu lomzimba wakho likhulu, ngoko lumka ngakumbi xa uthenga ulusu kunye neemveliso zeenwele.

Indlela yethu esiyithandayo yokuthenga icocekile kukhathalelo lomntu kukusebenzisa umthengisi ogcina kuphela iimveliso ezingena-PFAS.Ubuhle beCredongumthombo omangalisayo ophonononga ngononophelo imveliso nganye eyiphetheyo.

8. Pheka Ekhaya

Njengoko uphando oluninzi luphuma malunga nePFAS, ikhonkco elicacileyo phakathi kokutya kunye namanqanaba ePFAS liyakhula. Kwaye, ngaphezu kohlobo oluthile lokutya, ezi zibakala zithetha ngendlela abantu abatya ngayo. Olunye uphononongo lwafumanisa ukubaabantu abatya ekhaya abona bantu banawona manqanaba asezantsi ePFAS. Xa usitya ekhaya, ukutya kwakho akunakwenzeka ukuba udibane negrisi-proof, izitya ezifakwe kwi-PFAS. Kwaye, unolawulo ngakumbi kwi-cookware esetyenziselwa ukuyenza.

Ingcebiso yeBhonasi: Sebenza ekuguquleni ikhitshi lakho libe yindawo engenaPFAS. Emva kokuba utshintshele kwezo mbiza zikhuselekileyo kunye neepani, yenza utshintsho kwiyendalo, 100% izinto zokupheka eziphilayo kunye nokutya.
