Kei te whakaaro te Tari Tiaki Taiao o Amerika kia aukatia te nuinga o ngā whakamahinga o te methylene chloride, he matū e kīia ana ka pā he mōrearea ki te hauora, tae atu ki te mate, hei tiaki i te hauora o te marea.
Mā te whakaaro nei ka aukatia te whakamahinga o te methylene chloride i ngā āhuatanga katoa o te kaihoko me te nuinga o ngā whakamahinga ahumahi me te arumoni. Ka whakamahia te methylene chloride i roto i ngā 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 whakaarohia te aukati hei wāhanga o te Ture Whakahaere Matū Paitini, e hoatu ana ki te Tari Tiaki Taiao te mana ki te whakatakoto i ngā whakaritenga mō te ripoata, te pupuri tuhinga me te whakamātautau. I te tau 2019, i aukatia e te Tari Tiaki Taiao tētahi kaihoko mai i te whakamahi i te methylene chloride mā te tango atu i a ia mai i ngā mīhini tango peita.
E ai ki te Tari Tiaki Taiao o Amerika, neke atu i te 85 ngā tāngata kua mate i te pānga ki te matū mai i te tau 1980. E ai ki te EPA, ko te nuinga o ngā take he kaimahi kei runga i ngā kirimana whakapaipai whare. E ai ki te tari, he "take hou" kei te pāngia te hunga e ngā pānga hauora kino me te roa i muri i te pānga ki te methylene chloride. Kua tautuhia hoki e te Tari Tiaki Taiao ngā pānga hauora kino mai i te manawa me te pa ki te kiri, tae atu ki te paitini roro, ngā pānga ate, me te mate pukupuku.
I whakatauhia e te tari he "tūponotanga kino ki te hauora i raro i ngā tikanga whakamahinga" te methylene chloride nā te mea he tūponotanga 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 mō te methylene chloride, ā, ko te pānga ki te methylene chloride ka pā kino ki te hauora, tae atu ki te mate," te kī a Michael S. Regan, Kaiwhakahaere EPA, i roto i tētahi tukunga pāpāho. Koinei te āhua o te tini o ngā whānau kua mate ō rātou whanaunga i te paihana nui," te kī a te tono. "Koia te take e mahi ana te Tari Tiaki Taiao mā te taunaki i te aukati i te nuinga o ngā whakamahinga o tēnei matū me te whakatinana i ngā mana whakahaere pakari ake i ngā wāhi mahi hei tiaki i te hauora o ngā kaimahi me te whakaiti i te pānga ki ngā wāhi katoa."
Ko te kaupapa o te aukati kua whakaarohia he tiaki i te tangata mai i ngā mōrearea me te whakaiti i te pānga mā te tuku i te whakamahinga o te methylene chloride i raro i ngā tikanga tino whakahaere i ngā wāhi mahi, e ai ki te Environmental Protection Agency. Ka mutu te hanga, te tukatuka me te tohatoha o te methylene chloride i roto i ngā marama 15 e whai ake nei. Mēnā ka aukatia te matū e te tono, i kitea e te tātaritanga a te EPA "kei te wātea whānuitia ngā hua rerekē he rite te utu me te whai huatanga."
"E whakaatu ana tēnei aukati kua whakaarohia mō mua i te ahunga whakamua nui kua mahia e mātou ki te whakatinana i ngā parenga haumaru matū hou, me te tango i ngā mahi kua roa e tika ana hei tiaki pai ake i te hauora o te iwi whānui," te kī a Regan.
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.
