Kua whakaarohia e te Tari Tiaki Taiao kia aukatia te nuinga o ngā whakamahinga o te methylene chloride, he matū e kī ana rātou he morearea ki te hauora, ā, he mate pea, hei tiaki i te hauora o te marea.
Mā te whakaaro nei ka aukatia te whakamahinga o te dichloromethane i roto i ngā āhuatanga kaihoko katoa, ā, mō te nuinga o ngā kaupapa ahumahi me ngā kaupapa arumoni. Ka whakamahia te dichloromethane i roto i ngā taputapu tango hinu aerosol, ngā horoi peita me ngā paraihe paninga, ngā piripiri arumoni me ngā hiri, me te hanga i ētahi atu matū i roto i ngā taiao ahumahi.
I whakaurua te aukati hei wāhanga o te Ture Whakahaere Matū Paitini, i hoatu ai ki te EPA te mana ki te tono pūrongo, ki te pupuri tuhinga, me te whakamātautau, me ētahi atu here. I te tau 2019, i aukatia e te EPA te whakamahinga a te kaihoko o te dichloromethane mā te tango atu i ngā mīhini tango peita.
E ai ki te EPA, neke atu i te 85 ngā tāngata kua mate i te pānga ki tēnei matū mai i te tau 1980. E ai ki te Environmental Protection Agency, ko te nuinga o ngā take he kaimahi e mahi ana i ngā mahi kirimana whakapaipai whare. E ai ki te tari, he "tini atu" ngā tāngata kua pāngia e ngā pānga hauora kino me te roa i muri i te pānga ki te methylene chloride. Kua tautuhia hoki e te EPA ngā pānga kino ki te hauora, tae atu ki te paitini roro, ngā pānga ki te ate, me te mate pukupuku mā te manawa me te pa ki te kiri.
I whakatauhia e te tari he "mōrearea koretake te dichloromethane ki te hauora i raro i ngā tikanga whakamahinga" nā te mea he mōrearea ki ngā kaimahi e pāngia tika ana, e pāngia ā-kore rānei e te matū, ki ngā kaihoko e whakamahi ana i te matū, me te hunga e pāngia ana e te matū.
"He mārama te pūtaiao kei muri i te methylene chloride, ā, ka taea e te pānga te whakararu i te hauora, tae atu ki te mate, he mea tūturu tēnei mō te tini o ngā whānau kua mate ō rātou whanaunga i te paihana nui," te kī a te kaiwhakahaere o te EPA, a Michael S. Regan, i te huihuinga i panuitia ai. "Koia te take e mahi ana te EPA mā te whakaaro ki te tiaki i te hauora o ngā kaimahi mā te whakauru i ngā mana whakahaere kaha ake i te wāhi mahi ka aukati i te nuinga o ngā whakamahinga o tēnei matū, ka whakaiti hoki i te pānga i roto i ngā āhuatanga katoa."
I kī te EPA ko te whāinga o te aukati kua whakaarohia he tiaki i te tangata mai i te mōrearea, me te tuku noa i te methylene chloride kia whakamahia i raro i ngā āhuatanga mahi tino whakahaeretia, ka whakaiti i te pānga. Ka mutu te hanga, te tukatuka me te tohatoha o te dichloromethane i roto i ngā marama 15 e whai ake nei. I te wā i aukatia ai te matū e te tono, i kitea e te tātaritanga EPA he maha ngā hua kē atu he "utu me te whai huatanga rite ... e wātea ana."
"E whakaatu ana tēnei aukati kua whakaarohia mō mua i te ahunga whakamua nui kua mahia e tātou ki te whakatinana i ngā ārai haumaru matū hou, me te tango i ngā mahi kua roa e tika ana kia pai ake te tiaki i te hauora o te marea," te kī a Reagan.
He ētita me te kairīpoata a Kerry Breen mō CBS News. Ko ana pūrongo e aro ana ki ngā kaupapa o nāianei, ngā purongo hou me te whakamahi kino i ngā matū.
