Isifundo esitsha sifumene amaNqanaba aPhezulu eTyhefu 'Ngonaphakade iiKhemikhali' kwiiMveliso ze-120 zeCosmetic

• Uphengululo lwe

Kwiliso elingaqeqeshwanga, uluhlu olude lwesithako ngasemva kwepakethe ye-mascara okanye ibhotile yesiseko ibonakala ngathi ibhalwe ngolwimi oluthile olufana nolunye. Ngaphandle kokukwazi ukucacisa onke amagama esithako anamalungu asibhozo uwedwa, kuya kufuneka ubeke kancinci.yokuthembela - ukuba i-makeup yakho ikhuselekile kwaye uluhlu lwesithako sayo luchanekile - kwizazinzulu ezidibanisa iifomula zeemveliso zakho. Kodwa isifundo esitsha sapapashwa kwiphephancwadi Iileta zeNzululwazi ngokusiNgqongileyo kunye nobuChwepheshe ibonisa ukuba, mhlawumbi, akufanele ukhawuleze ukuthembela oko ubeka ebusweni bakho nasemzimbeni.

Emva kokuvavanya izithambiso ezingama-231 - kubandakanywa iziseko, i-mascaras, i-concealers, kunye nomlomo, amehlo, kunye neemveliso zamashiya - kwiivenkile ezifana ne-Ulta Beauty, i-Sephora, kunye ne-Target, abaphandi beYunivesithi yaseNotre Dame bafumanisa ukuba i-52 ipesenti iqulethe amanqanaba aphezulu- kunye Izinto ze-polyfluoroalkyl (PFAS). Ibizwa ngokuba "yimichiza engunaphakade," i-PFAS ayonakalisi okusingqongileyo kwaye inokwakha emzimbeni wakho ngokuchasana okuphindaphindiweyo ngokuhamba kwexesha, njengokuselwa kwamanzi angcolileyo, ukutya iintlanzi kuloo manzi, okanye ngokuginya ngengozi umhlaba okanye uthuli, kumaZiko oLawulo lweSifo kunye noThintelo. Ezi khemikhali zihlala zisetyenziswa kwi-non-stick cookware, iimpahla ezingangeni manzi, kunye neempahla ezinganyangekiyo, kwi-CDC nganye.

Kwilizwe lobuhle, i-PFAS ihlala yongezwa kwizinto zokuthambisa kunye neemveliso zokhathalelo lomntu (cinga: izinto zokuthambisa, izicoci zobuso, iikhrimu zokucheba) ukuphucula ukunganyangeki kwabo kwamanzi, ukungaguquguquki, kunye nokuqina, ngokophononongo. Kwiileyibhile zezithako, i-PFAS ihlala ibandakanya igama elithi "fluoro" ngamagama abo, ngokweQela eliSebenzayo lokusiNgqongileyo, kodwa uphononongo lufumanise ukuba ziipesenti ezisi-8 kuphela zezinto zokuvavanya ezivavanyiweyo ezinePFAS edweliswe njengezithako. Kuwo onke amanqanaba asibhozo ezithambiso ezivavanyiweyo, iziseko, iimveliso zamehlo, iimascara, kunye neemveliso zomlomo zenze eyona nxalenye inkulu yeemveliso ezinezixa eziphezulu zefluorine (umakisha wePFAS), ngokutsho kwabaphandi.

Akucaci ukuba ngaba i-PFAS yongezwa ngenjongo okanye hayi kwezi mveliso, kodwa abaphandi bathi bangangcoliseka ngexesha lokwenziwa okanye lokufakwa kwezikhongozelo zokugcina. Ulawulo lwezoKutya kunye noLawulo lweziyobisi luye lwaphawula ukuba ezinye zePFAS zinokubakho ngokungekho ngabom kwizithambiso ngenxa yezinto ezingcolileyo okanye "ukonakala kwezinto zePFAS ezenza ezinye iintlobo zePFAS."

Nokuba siyintoni na isizathu, ubukho bezi khemikhali buyaphazamisa: Ukuvezwa kwamanqanaba aphezulu e-PFAS kunokukhokelela kumanqanaba aphezulu e-cholesterol, ukunciphisa impendulo yokugonya ebantwaneni, ukwanda komngcipheko woxinzelelo lwegazi koomama abakhulelweyo, kunye nomngcipheko owandayo wezintso kunye nomhlaza wamatyhalarha, ngokweCDC. Izifundo zezilwanyana- ukusebenzisa idosi ephezulu kakhulu kunamanqanaba afunyenwe ngokwendalo kwindalo esingqongileyo- ikwabonakalisile ukuba i-PFAS inokubangela ukonakala kwesibindi kunye nenkqubo yomzimba yokuzikhusela, iziphene zokuzalwa, ukukhula okulibazisekileyo, kunye nokufa kosana olusandul 'ukuzalwa, ngokwe-CDC.

Ngelixa ezo zinto zinokuba semngciphekweni wezempilo zisenza ukusetyenziswa kwe-PFAS kwizithambiso kube sisizathu sokukhathazeka, iingcali zilumkisa ngokuchasene nokuzithathela ngokuzenzekelayo. UMarisa Garshick, M.D., F.A.A.D., ugqirha wesikhumba kwisiXeko saseNew York uthi: “Akwaziwa ukuba yimalini efunxwayo [ngolusu] kwanokuba abantu bachanabeka kangakanani na ngokusekelwe kwisixa esifumaneka kwiimveliso zokuthambisa. "Ke ngenxa yokuba ezo ziphumo [zibonwe] kwizifundo ezenziwa kwizilwanyana, ezazinikwe isixa esikhulu [sePFAS], ayi kuthetha ukuba oku kuyakusebenza kolu seto, apho isixa sokubhengeza singaziwa. "

Okwangoku, kubalulekile ukuba uqaphele ukuba izinto zokuthambisa ezivavanyiweyo kuphononongo zinokusetyenziswa ebusweni, kubandakanya namehlo nomlomo - indawo "apho ulusu lucekeceke ngokubanzi kwaye kunokwanda ukufunxeka xa kuthelekiswa namanye amalungu omzimba," Utshilo uGqirha Garshick. Kwangokunjalo, ababhali abafundayo bachaza ukuba i-PFAS kwi-lipstick inokuthi ingenwe ngabom, kwaye abo bakwi-mascara banokungeniswa kwimibhobho yeinyembezi.

Ke, ngaba ufanele uphonsa yonke into oyenzileyo kudoti? Inzulu. Ingxelo ka-2018 malunga ne-PFAS kwizithambiso, eqhutywa yi-Arhente yoKhuseleko lwezeNdalo eDenmark, igqibe ekubeni "ukulinganiswa kokulinganiswa kwe-PFCA [uhlobo lwe-PFAS] kwiimveliso zezithambiso ngokwazo akubeki mngcipheko kubathengi." Kodwa kwimeko encomekayo - apho ababhali baqaphela ukuba ayisiyonyani- apho unako Yiba sengozini ukuba izinto zokuthambisa ezininzi ezinePFAS zisetyenziswa ngaxeshanye.

I-TL; i-DR: "Ngenxa yokuba idatha iyonke inemida, izigqibo eziqinisekileyo azinakuthathwa, utshilo uGqirha Garshick. "Uphando oluthe kratya luyafuneka ukuvavanya ubungakanani bePFAS efunyenwe kwizinto zokuthambisa, ubungakanani bokufunxa eluswini, kunye nobungozi bempilo obunxulumene noku kubhengezwa."

Nangona ubungozi obunokubakho bePFAS kwizinto zokuthambisa busephezulu emoyeni, kukho amanyathelo onokuthi uwathathe ukuze unciphise ukuvezwa kwakho. I-EWG, ebingabandakanyekanga kolu phononongo, icebisa ukuba kujongwe iZiko ledatha elinzulu lolusu, elinikezela uluhlu lwezithako kunye nokulinganiswa kokhuseleko phantse kwezimonyo ezingama-75,000 kunye neemveliso zokhathalelo lomntu- kubandakanya i-300 + ethe yabonwa ngabaphandi be-EWG ukuba iqulethe iPFAS, ngaphambi kokuba ungeze imveliso kwindlela yakho yobuhle. Okubaluleke ngakumbi, ungabiza amalungu akho e-congress kwaye ukhuthaze umthetho ovala i-PFAS kwizinto zokuthambisa, ezinje nge-No PFAS kuMthetho wezoCosmetics owaziswe izolo ngoSenators uSusan Collins kunye noRichard Blumenthal.

Kwaye ukuba usakhathazekile, akukho nto iphosakeleyo ngokuhamba okanye indalo ngokulungileyo, kwi-Alicia Keys.
