Ua manaʻo paha ʻoe aia kekahi o nā mea a mākou e hoʻohana ai i kēlā me kēia lā, e like me ka ʻōpala meaʻai a me nā lole, e hūnā ana i nā kemika e hōʻino ana i ko mākou kino, akā ʻaʻole mākou e nānā nui aku? Ua kapa ʻia kēia mau mea he PFAS. Ua kapa kekahi iā lākou he 'kemika mau loa'. No laila, i kēia lā, e kamaʻilio kākou e pili ana i ke ʻano o kēia mau PFAS, pehea lākou e hoʻopilikia ai i ko mākou olakino, a pehea e pale aku ai iā mākou iho mai iā lākou i ka hiki.
He aha kēia mau 'kemika paʻa' (PFAS)?
I ka ʻōlelo maʻalahi, ʻo PFAS (Perfluoroalkyl a me Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) he hui o nā kemika i hana ʻia e ke kanaka. Loaʻa iā lākou ka hiki kupaianaha ke pale aku i nā mea e like me ka wai, ka ʻaila, a me ka lepo. ʻO ia hoʻi, ʻaʻole pipili ka wai a me ka ʻaila i kahi ʻili e kau ana iā lākou ma luna. E like me kahi kulu wai ma ka lau lotus.
Ma muli o kēia waiwai, hoʻohana nā mea hana i kēia kemika i kapa ʻia ʻo PFAS i nā mea he nui. E noʻonoʻo e pili ana i ka pā ʻaʻole e pipili āu e hoʻohana ai i ka lumi kuke. Ma muli o kēia kemika ʻaʻole e pipili ka meaʻai iā ia. ʻO ia hoʻi:
- Nā lole pale wai
- Nā kāpeti a me nā sofas pale ʻino
- Pepa pale ʻaila
- Kekahi mau ʻano mea hoʻonani (mea hoʻonaninani)
- Huʻa kinai ahi
Aia kekahi kumu i kapa ʻia ai lākou he 'forever chemicals'. ʻO ia no ka mea , ʻaʻole e maʻalahi ka haki ʻana o kēia mau kemika i ke kaiapuni a i ʻole i loko o ko kākou kino . Noho lākou pēlā no nā makahiki, a hiki i nā makahiki he ʻumi. Ma muli o kēia, manaʻo nā kānaka ʻepekema hiki iā lākou ke hōʻiliʻili mālie i loko o ke kaiapuni a i loko o ko kākou kino, e hoʻoulu ai i nā pilikia olakino i ka hala ʻana o ka manawa.
Pehea ka hopena o ka PFAS i ko mākou kino? (Nā pilikia olakino)
ʻAʻole hiki ke hoʻopau maʻalahi ʻia kēia mau PFAS, e komo ana i loko o ko kākou kino ma o ka wai a kākou e inu ai a me ka meaʻai a kākou e ʻai ai, no laila e hōʻiliʻili lākou i loko o ke kino. Ua hōʻike nā noiʻi e hiki i nā pae kiʻekiʻe o ka PFAS i loko o ke kino ke hoʻoulu i nā pilikia olakino like ʻole. Akā e hoʻomanaʻo, ke hoʻomau nei ka noiʻi ʻana i kēia mau mea.
ʻO ka mea nui, ʻaʻole e loaʻa i nā kānaka a pau i pili i ka PFAS kēia mau maʻi. Akā, hiki ke hoʻonui ʻia ka pilikia. No laila, he mea nui loa ka makaʻala i kēia.
Aia ma lalo iho kekahi o nā pilikia olakino nui e kū mai ana mai ka PFAS.
| ʻŌnaehana/ʻōkana i hoʻopilikia ʻia | He pilikia olakino paha |
|---|---|
| Pae kolesterol | Hoʻonui ʻia ka nui o ka cholesterol i loko o ke kino. |
| Ka hāpai ʻana a me nā keiki | ʻO ka pilikia o ka lohi o ka ulu ʻana o ka fetal, ke kaumaha hānau haʻahaʻa, ka momona o ka wā kamaliʻi, a me ke koko kiʻekiʻe i ka wā hāpai (preeclampsia). |
| ʻŌnaehana pale kino | Ka nāwaliwali o ka ʻōnaehana pale, ka hoʻemi ʻana i ka pono o nā lāʻau pale. |
| Ka pilikia o ke kanesa | ʻO ka hoʻonui ʻia o ka pilikia o nā maʻi kanesa o ka puʻupaʻa, ka prostate, a me nā testicular. |
| Nā hopena ʻē aʻe | Nā kūlana e like me ka maʻi thyroid, ka hōʻino ʻana o ke ake, ka emi ʻana o ka momona, a me ka ulcerative colitis. |
Aia kekahi pilina me ke koko kiʻekiʻe?
ʻAe, ua hōʻike kekahi mau noiʻi i kahi pilina ma waena o ka PFAS a me ke koko kiʻekiʻe. Ua ʻike ʻia ua pili nā pae kiʻekiʻe o ka PFAS me ka piʻi ʻana o ka pilikia o ke koko kiʻekiʻe, ʻoi aku hoʻi i waena o nā wahine waena a me nā makuahine hāpai.
Pehea e komo ai ka PFAS i loko o ko mākou kino?
Aia kekahi mau ala e hiki ai i kēia kemika ke komo i loko o ko kākou kino. Inā ʻike kākou i kēia, hiki iā kākou ke hōʻemi i ko kākou pilikia.
- Inu wai: ʻO ke ala nui o ka hoʻopili ʻia ʻana ma o ka inu ʻana i ka wai i haumia ʻia me PFAS. ʻOi aku ka nui o ka pilikia o nā wahi kokoke i nā hale hana a me nā kikowaena hoʻomaʻamaʻa ahi i ka haumia o ka wai.
- ʻAi: Ma o nā mea kanu, nā huaʻai, a me nā huahana holoholona e like me ka ʻiʻo a me ka waiū i ulu ʻia ma ka lepo a i ʻole ka wai i haumia ʻia e ka PFAS. ʻOi loa aku ma ka ʻai ʻana i nā iʻa mai nā waihona wai i haumia ʻia.
- Pāʻolo meaʻai: Hiki ke komo ka PFAS i loko o nā pāʻolo pale ʻaila a me ka wai, e like me nā pahu meaʻai lawe ʻia a me nā ʻeke popcorn microwave, i loko o ka meaʻai.
- Nā huahana hale: Hiki ke hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka PFAS ke kahakaha ʻia ka ʻili o nā ipu kuke ʻaʻole e pipili. Eia kekahi, ma ka hanu ʻana i nā ʻāpana lepo mai nā kāpeti a me nā lako e pale ai i nā ʻōpala.
- ʻO kekahi mau huahana nani: Loaʻa paha i kekahi mau kumu hoʻokumu, nā mascaras wai ʻole, a me nā poli kui ka PFAS.
Pehea ʻoe e pale ai iā ʻoe iho mai kēia mau PFAS?
He mea paʻakikī ke pale loa aku i kēia mau kemika, no ka mea, ua laha loa lākou i ke kaiapuni i kēia manawa. Eia nō naʻe, hiki iā kākou ke hōʻemi nui i ko kākou pilikia.
1. E makaʻala me kāu wai inu: Inā ʻoe e hoʻohana i ka wai mai kahi lako wai lehulehu, e nānā i kāu hōʻike maikaʻi wai kūloko. Inā kiʻekiʻe nā pae o PFAS i kāu wai, he manaʻo maikaʻi e hoʻohana i kahi kānana wai i hōʻoia ʻia. I ka wā kānalua, ʻoi aku ka palekana o ka inu ʻana a me ka kuke ʻana me ka wai ʻōmole.
2. E makaʻala i ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā ipu kuke ʻaʻole e pipili: Inā he mau ʻōpala a he mau māwae paha kāu pā ʻaʻole e pipili ma kona ʻili, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hoʻolei ʻana a hoʻololi i ke kila kila, ka hao i hoʻolei ʻia, a i ʻole nā ipu kuke seramika. Inā ʻoe e hoʻohana i nā ipu kuke ʻaʻole e pipili, e pale i ka kuke ʻana ma nā mahana kiʻekiʻe.
3. E noʻonoʻo e pili ana i ka hoʻopili ʻana i ka meaʻai: E hōʻemi i ka lawe ʻia a me ka meaʻai wikiwiki i ka hiki. ʻOi aku ka olakino o ka meaʻai i kuke ʻia ma ka home. E pale i ka hoʻomehana ʻana i ka meaʻai mai ka hale kūʻai i loko o ka ʻōpala like.
4. E mālama i kou home maʻemaʻe: Hiki i ka PFAS ke hōʻiliʻili i ka lepo o ka hale, no laila e hoʻomaʻemaʻe pinepine i kou home a holoi me kahi lole pulu.
5. E heluhelu i nā lepili huahana: Inā loaʻa i kahi huahana nā huaʻōlelo e like me "PTFE" a i ʻole "fluoro" i loko o kāna papa inoa mea hoʻohui, aia paha he PFAS. E koho i nā huahana i kapa ʻia ʻo "PFAS-free."
Inā he mau hopohopo olakino a hopohopo paha kāu e pili ana i kēia, ʻo ka mea maikaʻi loa e hana ai, ʻo ia ke ʻike i kāu kauka ʻohana (kauka) no ka ʻōlelo aʻo . He mea nui loa ia e kamaʻilio me kāu kauka e pili ana i kēia inā ʻoe e hāpai ana a i ʻole e hoʻolālā ana e loaʻa kahi pēpē.

- He ʻano 'kemika mau loa' nā PFAS. ʻAʻole lākou e haki maʻalahi i ke kaiapuni a i ʻole i loko o ko kākou kino.
- Hiki i kēia mau mea ke komo i loko o ko kākou kino ma o nā ipu kuke ʻaʻole e pipili, nā lole pale wai, nā ʻōpala meaʻai, a me ka wai haumia.
- ʻO ka lōʻihi o ka hōʻike ʻana i ka PFAS hiki ke hoʻoulu i nā pilikia olakino e like me ka hoʻonui ʻia o ka cholesterol, ka pilikia o ka maʻi kanesa, a me ka emi ʻana o ka palekana.
- Hiki ke hoʻēmi ʻia ka ʻike ʻia ma ka pale ʻana i nā ipu kuke ʻaʻole e pipili, me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā kānana wai i hōʻoia ʻia, a me ka hoʻēmi ʻana i ka meaʻai wikiwiki.
- Inā he kānalua kou e pili ana i kou olakino, mai hoʻokaʻulua a kūkākūkā me kāu kauka.
