Sekungamashumi eminyaka abantu abamangalela i-KPR US eNkantolo Yesifunda sase-US eSouthern Georgia behlala futhi besebenza ngaphakathi kwamakhilomitha ambalwa ukusuka esitshalweni sase-Augusta, bethi abakaze baqaphele ukuthi baphefumula umoya ongafaka 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 unezinhlobo ezahlukene zomdlavuza, okuhlanganisa umdlavuza webele, i-B-cell lymphoma, umdlavuza wesibeletho kanye nomdlavuza wamathumbu amakhulu, kanye nokuphuphuma kwesisu. Ecaleni elihlukile, umufi ka-Eunice Lambert wafaka icala ngemuva kokushona yi-leukemia ngo-2015.
Idatha ye-EPA ebhalwe ngabameli bommangali ecaleni empeleni ikhombisa ukuthi i-KPR yehlise kakhulu ukukhishwa kwayo kwe-EtO ngawo-2010, kodwa yayiphezulu kakhulu emashumini eminyaka adlule.
“Ngenxa yalokho, abantu abahlala futhi basebenze eduze kwezikhungo ze-KPR babhekene nezinye zezingozi zomdlavuza zesikhathi eside e-United States ngaphandle kolwazi lwabo. Laba bantu bebelokhu bephefumula i-ethylene oxide ngokungazi njalo futhi njalo amashumi eminyaka. Manje, bahlushwa umdlavuza ohlukahlukene, ukuphuphuma kwesisu, ukukhubazeka kokuzalwa, kanye neminye imiphumela yezempilo eshintsha impilo ngenxa yokuchayeka okuqhubekayo ku-ethylene oxide,” kubhala abameli be-Atlanta Cook & Connelly uCharles C. Bailey noBenjamin H. Richman noMichael. Ovca e-Edelson, eChicago.
Ukubhalisela ukuklama kwezokwelapha kanye nokunikeza imisebenzi yangaphandle. Beka uphawu, wabelane futhi uhlanganyele namajenali obunjiniyela bokuklama kwezokwelapha ahamba phambili namuhla.
I-DeviceTalks iyingxoxo phakathi kwabaholi bezobuchwepheshe bezokwelapha. Iyimicimbi, ama-podcast, ama-webinar, kanye nokushintshana ngemibono nokuqonda komuntu ngamunye.
Umagazini webhizinisi lamadivayisi ezokwelapha. I-MassDevice iyiphephabhuku lebhizinisi lezindaba zamadivayisi ezokwelapha elihamba phambili elilandisa indaba yamadivayisi asindisa impilo.
