Amashumi eminyaka, abantu abamangalela i-KPR US eNkantolo Yesifunda yase-US eSouthern Georgia bahlala futhi basebenza endaweni eqhele ngamamayela ukusuka esitshalweni i-Augusta, bethi abakaze baqaphele ukuthi baphefumula umoya ongabeka impilo yabo engozini. Ngokusho kwabameli bommangali, abasebenzisi bezimboni be-EtO babezazi izingozi ezingaba khona ze-EtO ekuqaleni kwawo-1980. (I-US Environmental Protection Agency yabala i-ethylene oxide njenge-carcinogen yomuntu ngoDisemba 2016.)
Umuntu oshushisa i-KPR US unezinhlobonhlobo zomdlavuza, okuhlanganisa umdlavuza webele, i-B-cell lymphoma, umdlavuza wesibeletho nowokhololo, kanye nokuphuphuma kwesisu. Kwelinye icala, umufi ka-Eunice Lambert wafaka icala ngemuva kokushona kwakhe ngenxa yomdlavuza wegazi ngo-2015.
Idatha ye-EPA esohlwini lwabameli bommangali ecaleni empeleni ibonisa ukuthi i-KPR inciphise kakhulu ukukhishwa kwayo kwe-EtO ngo-2010, kodwa yayiphezulu kakhulu emashumini eminyaka adlule.
“Ngenxa yalokho, abantu abahlala futhi basebenze eduze kwezikhungo ze-KPR babhekana nezingozi zomdlavuza zesikhathi eside e-United States ngaphandle kolwazi lwabo. Laba bantu bebelokhu behogela i-ethylene oxide ngokungazi njalo nangokuqhubekayo amashumi eminyaka. Manje, bahlushwa izinhlobo ezihlukahlukene zomdlavuza, ukuphuphuma kwezisu, ukukhubazeka kokuzalwa, neminye imiphumela yezempilo eshintsha ukuphila ngenxa yokuqhubeka bechayeka ku-ethylene oxide,” kubhala abameli be-Atlanta Cook & Connelly uCharles C. Bailey noBenjamin H. Richman noMichael. Indawo yokudlela yase-Edelson, eChicago.
Ukubhaliswa kwedizayini yezokwelapha kanye nokukhishwa kwemisebenzi. Beka uphawu lokubekisa, yabelana futhi uhlanganyele namajenali wobunjiniyela bedizayini yezokwelapha namuhla.
I-DeviceTalks iyingxoxo phakathi kwabaholi bezobuchwepheshe bezokwelapha. Izehlakalo, ama-podcasts, ama-webinars, kanye nokushintshana komuntu ngamunye kwemibono nemininingwane.
Umagazini webhizinisi wemishini yezokwelapha. I-MassDevice iyiphephabhuku lebhizinisi lezindaba ledivayisi yezokwelapha elixoxa indaba yamadivayisi asindisa ukuphila.
