I kēia pule, ua noi mua nā mea puhi ahi no ka hoʻāʻo kūʻokoʻa o PFAS, kahi mea kemika e pili ana i ka maʻi kanesa i nā mea hana, a noi i ka hui e haʻalele i ke kākoʻo o nā mea hana kemika a me nā mea hana.
Ua hana ʻo Sean Mitchell, ke kāpena o ke Keʻena Kinai Ahi o Nantucket, i kēlā me kēia lā no 15 mau makahiki.ʻO ke kāʻei ʻana i kēlā ʻaʻahu nui hiki ke pale iā ia mai ka wela a me ke ahi ma ka hana.Akā i ka makahiki i hala, ua hālāwai ʻo ia a me kāna hui i ka noiʻi hoʻopilikia: hiki i nā kemika ʻona i nā mea hana i hoʻohana ʻia e pale aku ai i nā ola ke hoʻomake nui iā lākou.
I kēia pule, ua noi aku ʻo Kāpena Mitchell a me nā lālā ʻē aʻe o ka International Firefighters Association, ka hui nui loa o nā mea puhi ahi ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, i nā luna hui e hana.Manaʻo lākou e hana i nā hoʻokolohua kūʻokoʻa ma PFAS a me nā mea kemika e hoʻohana ai, a noi i ka hui e hoʻopau i ke kākoʻo o nā mea hana hana a me ka ʻoihana kemika.I kēia mau lā e hiki mai ana, ua manaʻo ʻia e koho balota nā lunamakaʻāinana i ʻoi aku ma mua o 300,000 mau lālā o ka hui i ke ana-no ka manawa mua.
"Ua ʻike mākou i kēia mau mea kemika i kēlā me kēia lā," wahi a Kāpena Mitchell."A ʻoi aku ka nui o kaʻu aʻo ʻana, ʻoi aku ka nui o koʻu manaʻo e like me ka mea nāna i hana i kēia mau kemika i ʻōlelo i kēia mau kemika."
Me ka piʻi ʻana o nā hopena o ka hoʻololi ʻana i ke aniau, ua lilo ka palekana o nā mea ahi i pilikia koʻikoʻi e hoʻoponopono ʻia.Ua hoʻonui ka hoʻololi ʻana i ka mahana a ua hoʻopilikia i ka ʻāina i ke ahi e hoʻopau nui ana, e hoʻomaka ana i kēia mau koi.I ʻOkakopa, he ʻumikūmālua mau mea puhi ahi ma Kaleponi i hoʻopiʻi kūʻē iā 3M, Chemours, EI du Pont de Nemours a me nā mea hana ʻē aʻe.I ka makahiki i hala aku nei, ua puhi ʻia kahi moʻolelo 4.2 miliona mau ʻeka ma ka mokuʻāina, e ʻōlelo ana ua hana ʻia kēia mau hui no nā makahiki he mau makahiki.A kūʻai aku i nā lako hana ahi.Loaʻa i nā kemika ʻona me ka ʻōlelo ʻole e pili ana i ka pōʻino o nā kemika.
"He ʻoihana weliweli ka puhi ahi a ʻaʻole makemake mākou e puhi i ke ahi.Pono lākou i kēia palekana. "wahi a Linda Birnbaum, ka luna mua o ka National Institute of Environmental Health Science."Akā ua ʻike mākou i kēia manawa hiki i ka PFAS ke hana, ʻaʻole ia e hana mau."
Ua hoʻohui ʻo Dr. Birnbaum: "He nui nā ʻāpana hanu e neʻe i waho a komo i ka lewa, a aia ka hanu ma ko lākou mau lima a ma ko lākou kino.""Inā lawe lākou i ka home e holoi, e lawe lākou i ka PFAS i ka home.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo DuPont ua "hoka" me ka ʻimi ʻana o ka poʻe kuni ahi i ka pāpā ʻana i ke kākoʻo, a ʻo kāna kūpaʻa i ka ʻoihana "ʻaʻole paʻa."Ua ʻōlelo ʻo 3M he "kuleana" no PFAS a hoʻomau i ka hana pū me nā uniona.Ua hōʻole ʻo Chemours i ka ʻōlelo.
Ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia me nā lapalapa make, nā hale i hoʻopuni ʻia e ka uahi a i ʻole nā ululāʻau hell kahi e hakakā ai nā mea kuni ahi, ʻike ʻia nā pilikia o nā kemika i nā mea hana ahi.Akā i nā makahiki he ʻekolu i hala iho nei, ua lilo ka maʻi maʻi i ke kumu nui o ka make ʻana o ke ahi ma ka ʻāina, e helu ana i ka 75% o ka make o nā mea puhi ahi i ka makahiki 2019.
ʻO ka noiʻi i mālama ʻia e ka National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i ʻike ʻia he 9% kiʻekiʻe ka nui o ka maʻi kanesa o ka poʻe kinai ahi ma mua o ka nui o ka heluna kanaka ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa a he 14% kiʻekiʻe ka pilikia o ka make ʻana i ka maʻi.Hōʻike ka poʻe akamai o ke ola kino i ka poʻe kuni ahi ka nui o ka pilikia o ka maʻi kanesa testicular, mesothelioma a me non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a ʻaʻole i emi ka nui, ʻoiai ke hoʻohana nei nā poʻe kinai ahi o ʻAmelika i nā ʻeke air e like me nā mea luʻu no ka pale ʻana iā lākou iho mai ka uahi ʻawaʻawa.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Jim Burneka, kahi mea puhi ahi ma Dayton, Ohio: "ʻAʻole kēia he make ma kahi hana kuʻuna.Hāʻule ka poʻe kinai ahi mai ka papahele a i ʻole hāʻule ka hale ma hope o mākou.Nationwide E ho'ēmi i ka maʻi kanesa o nā limahana.“He ʻano hou kēia o ka make kuleana.ʻO ia ka hana e pepehi iā mākou.ʻO ia wale nō, ua wehe mākou i ko mākou mau kāmaʻa a make.
ʻOiai paʻakikī ka hoʻokumu ʻana i kahi loulou pololei ma waena o ka hoʻolaha kemika a me ka maʻi kanesa, ʻoi aku hoʻi i nā hihia pākahi, ua ʻōlelo ka poʻe loea olakino e hoʻonui ana ka ʻike kemika i ka maʻi kanesa no nā mea puhi ahi.ʻO ka mea hewa: ʻo ka huʻa i hoʻohana ʻia e nā mea puhi ahi e kinai i nā lapalapa weliweli.Ua hana kekahi mau mokuʻāina e pāpā i kā lākou hoʻohana.
Eia naʻe, ʻo kahi noiʻi i paʻi ʻia i ka makahiki i hala e ka poʻe noiʻi mai ke Kulanui o Notre Dame ua ʻike ʻo ka lole pale o ke ahi i loaʻa i ka nui o nā mea like ʻole e mālama ai i ka lole pale i ka wai.Ua ʻike ka poʻe noiʻi e hāʻule kēia mau mea kemika mai nā lole, a i ʻole i kekahi manawa e neʻe i ka papa o loko o ke kapa.
ʻO nā mea kemika i nīnau ʻia no ka papa o nā pūhui synthetic i kapa ʻia he perfluoroalkyl a me polyfluoroalkyl substances, a i ʻole PFAS, i loaʻa i loko o nā ʻano huahana, me nā pahu meaʻai a me nā lako.Ua kapa ʻia ʻo PFAS i kekahi manawa he "kemika mau loa" no ka mea ʻaʻole lākou i hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻia i ke kaiapuni a no laila pili pū me nā ʻano hopena olakino, e like me ka maʻi kanesa, ka pōʻino o ka ate, ka emi ʻana o ka momona, ka hānō, a me ka maʻi thyroid.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Graham F. Peaslee, ke kaukaʻi o ka hoʻokolohua nuklear physics, kemika a me ka biochemistry ma Notre Dame de Paris, ka mea nāna i mālama i ka noiʻi, ʻoiai ʻoiai ke hoʻopau ʻia nei kekahi mau ʻano o ka PFAS, ʻaʻole i hōʻoia ʻia nā mea ʻē aʻe e palekana.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Dr. Peaslee: "He mea pilikia nui kēia, akā hiki iā mākou ke hoʻopau i kēia pilikia, akā ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻopau i ka pilikia o ka haki ʻana i kahi hale ahi."“A ʻaʻole lākou i haʻi aku i nā mea kinai ahi no ia mea.No laila lākou e ʻaʻahu nei, e auwana ma waena o nā kelepona.Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia."He pilina lōʻihi kēlā, ʻaʻole maikaʻi."
Ua'ōleloʻo Doug W. Stern, ka luna hoʻomalu o ka pilina o ka'aha'ōlelo no ka International Firefighters Association, no nā makahiki he nui, he kulekele a me ka hoʻomaʻamaʻaʻana i nā lālā wale nō e hoʻohana i nā mea hana ahi i ka wā o ke ahi a iʻole ka pilikia.
Ua ʻōlelo ka hoʻokele Biden e hana ia i ka PFAS i mea nui.I loko o kāna mau palapala hoʻolaha, ua hoʻohiki ʻo Pelekikena Biden e koho i ka PFOS ma ke ʻano he mea pōʻino i mea e uku ai nā mea hana a me nā mea hoʻohaumia ʻē aʻe no ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻana a hoʻonohonoho i nā kūlana wai inu ʻāina no ka kemika.Ua hana mua ʻo New York, Maine a me Wakinekona i ka pāpā ʻana i ka PFAS i ka ʻai ʻana i ka meaʻai, a aia nā pāpā ʻē aʻe i ka pipeline.
"Pono e hoʻokaʻawale i ka PFAS mai nā huahana o kēlā me kēia lā e like me ka meaʻai, nā mea hoʻonaninani, nā lole lole, nā kapena," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo Scott Faber, ka pelekikena nui o nā ʻoihana aupuni no ka Environmental Working Group, kahi hui waiwai ʻole e pili ana i ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe kūlohelohe."Eia kekahi, he kiʻekiʻe loa ka pākēneka o nā mea puhi ahi."
ʻO Lon.ʻO Ron Glass, ka pelekikena o ka Orlando Professional Fire Workers Association, he mea puhi ahi no 25 mau makahiki.I ka makahiki i hala, ua make ʻelua o kona mau hoa i ka maʻi kanesa.Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia: "I ka wā i hoʻolimalima mua ʻia ai au, ʻo ke kumu helu ʻekahi o ka make he ulia ahi ma ka hana a laila he puʻuwai puʻuwai.""I kēia manawa ua pau ka maʻi kanesa."
"I ka wā mua, hoʻopiʻi nā mea a pau i nā mea like ʻole a i ʻole nā huhū i puhi ʻia.A laila, hoʻomaka mākou e aʻo i ka hohonu a hoʻomaka mākou e aʻo i kā mākou mea hana bunker. "Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia."Ua haʻi mua ka mea hana iā mākou ʻaʻohe hewa a ʻaʻohe pōʻino.ʻIke ʻia ʻaʻole ʻo PFAS wale nō ma ka ʻaoʻao o waho, akā kūʻē hoʻi i ko mākou ʻili i ka ʻili o loko.
Ke koi nei ʻo Lieutenant Glass a me kāna mau hoa hana i ka International Firefighters Association (ʻo ia ka mea e hōʻike ana i nā mea kuni ahi a me nā paramedics ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa a me Kanada) e hana hou i nā hoʻokolohua.Ua waiho ʻia kā lākou ʻōlelo hoʻoholo i ka hālāwai makahiki o ka hui i kēia pule, a ua noi pū lākou i ka uniona e hana pū me nā mea hana e hoʻomohala i nā mea ʻē aʻe palekana.
I ka manawa like, ke koi nei ʻo Kāpena Mitchell i nā uniona e hōʻole i nā kākoʻo e hiki mai ana mai nā mea hana kemika a me nā mea hana.Manaʻo ʻo ia ua lohi ke kālā i ka hana ma ka pilikia.Hōʻike nā moʻolelo i ka makahiki 2018, ua loaʻa i ka uniona ma kahi o $200,000 i ka loaʻa kālā mai nā hui me ka mea hana lole WL Gore a me ka mea hana lako MSA Safety.
Ua kuhikuhi mai o Mr. Stern ua kākoʻo ka hui i ka noiʻi ʻana i ka ʻepekema hōʻike PFAS e pili ana i nā mea hana ahi a ke hana pū nei me nā mea noiʻi ma ʻekolu mau noiʻi nui, hoʻokahi e pili ana i ka PFAS i ke koko o nā mea puhi ahi, a ʻo kekahi e aʻo ana i ka lepo mai ke keʻena ahi e hoʻoholo ai i ka ʻike PFAS, a ʻo ke kolu o ka hoʻāʻo ʻana o nā lako kaua ahi PFAS.Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia e kākoʻo ana ka hui i nā mea noiʻi ʻē aʻe e noi ana i nā haʻawina e aʻo ai i nā pilikia PFAS.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo WL Gore e kūpaʻa mau i ka palekana o kāna huahana.ʻAʻole i pane ʻo MSA Security i kahi noi no ka manaʻo.
ʻO kekahi mea ʻē aʻe, ʻo ia ka poʻe hana hana i kahi kūlana koʻikoʻi i ka National Fire Protection Association, nāna e mālama i nā kūlana o nā lako ahi.No ka laʻana, ʻo ka hapalua o nā lālā o ke kōmike ke kuleana no ka mālama ʻana i nā kūlana o nā lole pale a me nā lako hana mai ka ʻoihana.Ua ʻōlelo kekahi waha ʻōlelo no ka hui, ʻo kēia mau komite ke kū nei i "ke kaulike o nā pono, me ka ʻoihana ahi."
Ua haʻi ʻia ke kāne a Diane Cotter ʻo Paul, he mea puhi ahi ma Worcester, Massachusetts, i ʻehiku mau makahiki i hala aku nei ua loaʻa iā ia ka maʻi kanesa.ʻO ia kekahi o ka mea mua i hāpai i nā hopohopo e pili ana i ka PFAS.Ma hope o 27 mau makahiki o ka lawelawe ʻana, ua hoʻokiʻekiʻe ʻia kāna kāne i ka lieutenant i Kepakemapa 2014. "Akā i ʻOkakopa, ua pau kāna ʻoihana," wahi a Ms. Kotter.Ua ʻike ʻia ʻo ia i ka maʻi kanesa.A ʻaʻole hiki iaʻu ke haʻi aku iā ʻoe i ka pīhoihoi.“
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ʻaʻole hoʻohana hou nā mea puhi ahi o ʻEulopa i ka PFAS, akā i ka wā i hoʻomaka ai ʻo ia e kākau i nā mea hana ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, "ʻaʻohe pane."Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia he mea koʻikoʻi nā hana i hana ʻia e ka uniona, ʻoiai ua lohi loa i kāna kāne.Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Ms. Kurt: "ʻO ka mea paʻakikī loa ʻaʻole hiki iā ia ke hoʻi i ka hana."
