Kusenokubakho Amaqhekeza amancinane ePlastiki kwiTyuwa Yakho yoLwandle

Umxholo

• Uphengululo lwe

Nokuba ufefe kwimifuno ejijiweyo okanye kwiokie yetshokholethi ye-chip, ipinki yolwandle ityuwa lulongezo olwamkelekileyo kuko nakuphi na ukutya okhoyo njengoku. Kodwa sisenokongeza ngaphezulu kwesinongo xa usebenzisa loo nto ityikityayo uninzi lweetyuwa zingcoliswe ngamasuntswana eplastiki, kutsho isifundo esitsha saseTshayina. (PS Le Into Engcolileyo Ekhitshini Lakho inokukunika ityhefu yokutya.)

Kwisifundo, esipapashwe kwijenali ye-intanethi Inzululwazi ngezokusiNgqongileyo kunye nobuChwephesheIqela labaphandi laqokelela iintlobo ezili-15 zetyiwa (efumaneka elwandle, emachibini, emithonjeni nasemigodini) ezithengiswa kwiivenkile ezinkulu kulo lonke elase China. Izazinzulu zazikhangela i-microplastics, amasuntswana eplastiki amancinci ashiyeke kwiibhotile zabantu ezahlukeneyo zeebhotile kunye neengxowa, ezihlala zingekho nkulu kune-5 millimeters ngobukhulu.

Bafumene izixa eziphakamileyo ngokungaqhelekanga zezi microplastics kwityuwa yetafile eqhelekileyo, kodwa eyona nto ingcolisekileyo yayikwityuwa yolwandle-malunga ne-1,200 yamaqhekeza eplastiki ngeponti.

Ngelixa unokucinga ukuba oku kuvakala njengengxaki kuphela kubantu abahlala eTshayina, ilizwe lelona lizwe livelisa ityuwa enkulu, ke nabo bahlala kumgama ongamawaka eekhilomitha (oko kukuthi iMelika) basenokuthi bachatshazelwe yile ngxaki, iingxelo Medical Daily. “Iiplastiki iye yaba sisingcoliso esihlala sikhona, ndiyathandabuza ukuba ayinamsebenzi nokuba ujonge iplastiki kwityuwa yolwandle kwiishelufa zevenkile yaseTshayina okanye yaseMelika,” utshilo uSherri Mason, Ph.D., ofunda ungcoliseko lweplastiki.

Abaphandi babale ukuba umntu osebenzisa ityuwa ecetyiswayo kwi-World Health Organization (5 grams) uya kuginya malunga ne-1,000 i-particle yeplastiki ngonyaka. Kodwa kuba uninzi lwabantu baseMelika lusebenzisa kabini ukubalwa kwe-sodium count yemihla ngemihla, olo luqikelelo olulondolozayo.

Oku kuthetha ntoni ke ngoku empilweni yethu? Iingcali azikayazi ukuba loluphi uhlobo lomonakalo otya izixa ezikhulu kangaka zemicroplastics (ekwafumaneka kukutya kwaselwandle) onokuba nazo kwiinkqubo zethu, kwaye uphando oluninzi luyafuneka. Kodwa kukhuselekile ukuthetha, ukufaka amaqhekeza amancinci eplastiki akunjalo Kulungile yeyethu.

Ke ukuba ujonga isizathu sokukhaba umkhwa wakho wetyuwa, oku kunokuba njalo.
