I te 3 o Mei, 2023, i whakaputa te EPA i tētahi ture kua whakaarohia ki roto i te Federal Register hei aukati i te nuinga o ngā whakamahinga o te methylene chloride.
I raro i te Ture Whakahaere Matū Paitini (TSCA) te whakaaetanga a te EPA mō te ture kua whakaritea, ā, ko te dichloromethane te matū tuarua e whakahaeretia ana tōna mōrearea i raro i te tukanga whakahou i hangaia e Frank R. Lautenberg. Ko te Ture Haumaru Matū o te rautau 21 o te tau 2016, whai muri i te kaupapa a te tari ki te tiaki i te tangata mai i te pānga ki te asbestos i te tau kua hipa.
He maha ngā huarahi e whakamahia ai te dichloromethane, tae atu ki ngā whakamahinga kaihoko pēnei i ngā tango hinu aerosol me ngā horoi paraihe mō ngā peita me ngā paninga, ngā whakamahinga arumoni pēnei i ngā piripiri me ngā hiri, me ngā whakamahinga ahumahi i roto i te hanga o ētahi atu matū. Hei tauira, ka whakamahia te dichloromethane hei takawaenga matū i roto i te hanga o ngā hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs)32, e whakamahia ana i roto i ngā pouaka whakamatao whakaranu hei whakakapi i ngā matū he nui ake te kaha ki te whakamahana ā-ao.
E ai ki te Tari Tiaki Taiao, neke atu i te 85 ngā tāngata kua mate i te pānga kino ki te methylene chloride mai i te tau 1980, ko te nuinga he kaimahi kirimana whakapaipai whare kua tino whakangungua, ā, kua rite hoki ki ngā taputapu tiaki whaiaro.
Ko te aromatawai mōrearea kāore i whakamanahia e te tari mō te dichloromethane i ahu mai i ngā mōrearea e pā ana ki ngā kaimahi, ki ngā tohunga ngaio kāore e whakamahi (ngā kaimahi e tata ana engari kāore i te pā tika ki te matū), ki ngā kaihoko, me te hunga e tata ana ki te wāhi whakamahi a te kaihoko. Kua tautuhia e te Tari Tiaki Taiao ngā mōrearea o ngā pānga kino ki te hauora tangata, tae atu ki te paitini roro, ngā pānga ki te ate me te mate pukupuku mai i te manawa, me te pānga ki te kiri ki te methylene chloride.
Mā ngā ture whakahaere mōrearea kua whakaarohia ka tere te whakaiti i te hanga, te tukatuka me te tohatoha o te methylene chloride mō ngā whakamahinga katoa a te kaihoko me te nuinga o ngā whakamahinga ahumahi me te arumoni, ā, ko te nuinga o ēnei ka whakatinanahia katoatia i roto i ngā marama 15. Mō te nuinga o ngā whakamahinga o te methylene chloride e whakaaro ana te EPA ki te aukati, i whakaatuhia e tana tātaritanga he maha ngā huarahi hei whakakapi i ngā hua methylene chloride ki te utu me te whai hua.
"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 ngā whanaunga i te paihana tere," te kī a te Kaiwhakahaere EPA a Michael S. Regan i roto i tētahi panuitanga pāpāho a te tari. "Koia te take e mahi ana te EPA mā te whakaaro kia tiakina 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 me te whakaiti i te pānga ki ngā mea katoa. Whakapā mai. Ko tēnei aukati kua whakaarohia i mua e whakaatu ana i te ahunga whakamua nui kua mahia e mātou i roto i te whakatinanatanga o ngā tiakitanga hou mō te haumaru matū me te tango i ngā mahi kua roa e tika ana hei tiaki pai ake i te hauora o te marea."
"Mō te hanga ahumahi, te tukatuka ahumahi, me te whakamahinga ā-motu kāore i whakaarohia e te EPA kia aukatia, kei te tuku te EPA i tētahi kaupapa tiaki matū i te wāhi mahi me ngā herenga pānga tino kaha hei tiaki pai ake i ngā kaimahi," te kī a te EPA i roto i tētahi kōrero. "Kua whiwhi te EPA i ngā urupare a te ahumahi e tohu ana kua tutuki pea ētahi whare i ngā herenga pānga tino kaha ake kua whakaarohia mō te methylene chloride. Mā ēnei whakaritenga kua whakaarohia ka taea te tukatuka tonu i te methylene chloride hei whakaputa i ngā matū he mea nui ki te whakaiti i ngā mahi ki te huringa āhuarangi kua whakarārangihia i roto i te Pūrongo Auaha me te Hangahanga o te US. He mea nui te Mahi. He mahi nui tā ngā pouaka whakamatao e pai ana ki te āhuarangi me ētahi atu matū ki te whawhai ki te huringa āhuarangi, ā, e tautoko ana te ture kua whakaarohia e te EPA i ngā mahi tonu ki te whakaiti i ngā tukunga."
Hei tāpiritanga, e kī ana te EPA kia mau tonu te whakahaere i ētahi whakamahinga o te dichloromethane e hiahiatia ana e te NASA, DOD me te FAA i roto i te wāhi mahi, nā te mea ka taea te whakaiti i te pānga i roto i ēnei āhuatanga tino uaua kia iti ai te mōrearea ki ngā kaimahi i te mea ka taea.
"Ka tiakina hoki te hapori mai i te pānga ki te methylene chloride e ngā aukati me ngā here kua whakaritea," te kī a te kōrero. "Mā te whakamahi i ngā raraunga pānga ki ngā tukunga paitini mō ngā tau e ono, kua tautuhia e te Tari Tiaki Taiao he iti noa ngā whare hei tūponotanga mō ngā hapori kua taiepatia. Ka kapi te aukati i roto i te ture kua whakaritea e te EPA i te whakamahinga tonu o te methylene chloride i te nuinga o ēnei whare, he tūponotanga mō te hapori."
Ka whakaaetia ngā kōrero mō te ture kua whakaarohia mā te Federal Electronic Rulemaking Portal tae noa ki te 3 o Hūrae, 2023, nama whakauru EPA-HQ-OPPT-2020-0465.
