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 ko te methylene chloride "he mōrearea kino 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. Kaua e waha i ngā mōrearea.
"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.
