Yu dɔn ɛva tink se sɔm pan di tin dɛn we wi kin yuz ɛvride, lɛk fɔ pak it ɛn klos, kin bi fɔ ayd kemikal dɛn we de ambɔg wi bɔdi, bɔt we wi nɔ de pe atɛnshɔn tumɔs to? Dɛn kɔl dɛn tin ya PFAS. Sɔm kin kɔl dɛn ‘fɔ ɔltɛm kemikal’. So tide, lɛ wi tɔk bɔt wetin na dɛn PFAS ya, aw dɛn kin afɛkt wi wɛlbɔdi, ɛn aw fɔ protɛkt wisɛf frɔm dɛn as wi ebul.
Wetin na dɛn ‘persistent chemicals’ (PFAS) ya?
Fɔ tɔk am simpul wan, PFAS (Perfluoroalkyl ɛn Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) na wan grup we gɛt kemikal dɛn we mɔtalman mek. Dɛn gɛt di wɔndaful pawa fɔ drɛb tin dɛn lɛk wata, ɔyl, ɛn dɔti. Dat min se wata ɛn ɔyl nɔ de stik pan sɔntin we gɛt dɛn pan am. Jɔs lɛk wan drop wata pan lotus lif.
Bikɔs ɔf dis prɔpati, di wan dɛn we de mek am kin yuz dis kemikal we dɛn kɔl PFAS pan bɔku tin dɛn. Tink bɔt di pan we nɔ de stik we yu de yuz na di kichin. Na bikɔs ɔf dis kemikal we it nɔ de stik pan am. I de bak fɔ:
- Klos we nɔ de mek wata kɔmɔt
- Kapɛt ɛn sofa dɛn we nɔ de mek stɛyn
- Pepa we nɔ de mek gris
- Sɔm kayn mek-ap (kɔsmɛtik) .
- Fom fɔ faya faya
wan rizin de we mek dεn kכl dεm 'forever chemicals'. Dat na bikɔs dɛn kemikal ya nɔ kin brok izi wan na di say we wi de ɔ na wi bɔdi . Dɛn kin de da we de fɔ lɔng lɔng tɛm, ivin fɔ lɔng lɔng tɛm. Bikɔs ɔf dis, sayɛnsman dɛn kin tink se dɛn kin bɔku smɔl smɔl na di envayrɔmɛnt ɛn na wi bɔdi, ɛn dis kin mek wi gɛt wɛlbɔdi prɔblɛm as tɛm de go.
Aw PFAS kin afɛkt wi bɔdi? (Di prɔblɛm dɛn we kin mek pɔsin gɛt wɛlbɔdi) .
Dɛn PFAS ya we de go insay wi bɔdi tru di wata we wi de drink ɛn di it we wi de it, nɔ kin izi fɔ pul am, so dɛn kin gɛda na di bɔdi. Stɔdi dɔn sho se we di PFAS lɛvɛl go ɔp na di bɔdi kin mek difrɛn wɛlbɔdi prɔblɛm dɛn. Bɔt mɛmba se, dɛn stil de du risach bɔt dɛn tin ya.
Di impɔtant tin na dat nɔto ɔlman we gɛt PFAS go gɛt dɛn sik ya. Bɔt di risk kin bɔku. So i rili impɔtant fɔ no bɔt dis.
Dis dɔŋ ya na sɔm pan di big big wɛlbɔdi prɔblɛm dɛn we kin kam wit PFAS.

Yu tink se sɔntin gɛt sɔntin fɔ du wit di ay blɔd prɛshɔn?
Yɛs, sɔm stɔdi dɛn dɔn sho se PFAS ɛn ay blɔd prɛshɔn gɛt sɔntin fɔ du wit am. Dɛn dɔn si se if PFAS bɔku, dat kin mek i gɛt ay blɔd prɛshɔn, mɔ pan uman dɛn we ol midul ej ɛn mama dɛn we gɛt bɛlɛ.
Aw PFAS kin go insay wi bɔdi?
Bɔku we dɛn de we dis kemikal kin go insay wi bɔdi. If wi no dis, wi kin ridyus di exposure we wi de du.
- Wata fɔ drink: Di men we fɔ mek pɔsin gɛt di sik na fɔ drink wata we gɛt PFAS. Di eria dɛn we de nia di faktri dɛn ɛn fayafayt trenin sɛnta dɛn de pan ay risk fɔ mek wata dɔti.

Aw yu go protɛkt yusɛf frɔm dɛn PFAS ya?
I at fɔ avɔyd dɛn kemikal ya ɔltogɛda, bikɔs naw dɛn dɔn bɔku na di envayrɔmɛnt. Bɔt wi kin ridyus di we aw wi kin gɛt dis sik bad bad wan.
1. Tek tɛm wit yu wata we yu de drink: If yu de yuz wata we kɔmɔt na pɔblik wata sapɔt, chɛk yu lokal wata kwaliti ripɔt. If yu wata gɛt ay levul fɔ PFAS, i fayn fɔ yuz wata filta we gɛt sɛtifiket. We yu gɛt dawt, i bɛtɛ fɔ drink ɛn kuk wit bɔtul wata.
2. Tek tɛm we yu de yuz tin dɛn fɔ kuk we nɔ de stik: If yu pan we nɔ de stik gɛt skrat ɔ krak na in say, i go fayn fɔ mek yu trowe am ɛn chenj to tin dɛn we dɛn mek wit stenlɛs stiɛl, kas ayɛn, ɔ sɛramik tin dɛn fɔ kuk. If yu de yuz tin dɛn fɔ kuk we nɔ de stik, nɔ kuk na ay tɛmpracha.
