Abacwaningi baseMelika baphumelele ukuhlonza amakhemikhali okungenzeka kakhulu abangele umdlavuza webele. Lolu cwaningo, olushicilelwe ngoMsombuluko, Meyi 12 kujenali Impilo Yemvelo, ikhombisa ukuthi amakhemikhali abangela umdlavuza we-mammary gland tumors kumagundane nawo axhumene nomdlavuza webele womuntu. Okokuqala, kusukela kuze kube yileso sikhathi, ucwaningo aluzange lucabangele lolu hlobo lokuchayeka.

Uphethiloli, udizili, izinyibilikisi ...: imikhiqizo ephambili ye-carcinogenic

Umdlavuza wamabele ungumdlavuza otholakala kakhulu kwabesifazane emhlabeni wonke, ngaphambi nangemuva kokunqamuka kokuya esikhathini. Oyedwa kwabesifazane abayisi-9 uzoba nomdlavuza webele empilweni yakhe kanti owesifazane oyedwa kwabangu-1 uzobulawa wumdlavuza. Izinto eziyingozi kakhulu zaziwukukhuluphala ngokweqile, indlela yokuphila yokungawuvivinyi umzimba, ukuphuza utshwala nokuthatha imishanguzo yokubuyisela ama-hormone ngesikhathi sokunqamuka kokuya esikhathini. Manje sesiyazi ukuthi izinto ezithile zidlala indima enqumayo ekubukekeni kwalo mdlavuza: Imikhiqizo engu-27 ebaluleke kakhulu ye-carcinogenic ibalwe. Lokhu kufaka phakathi amakhemikhali atholakala kuphethiloli, udizili nezinye izinto ezikhipha umoya ezimotweni, kanye nezinqanda amalangabi, izincibilikisi, izindwangu ezikwazi ukumelana namabala, izihluthulelo zopende kanye neziphuma kumagciwane asetshenziswa ekwelapheni amanzi okuphuza.

Amathiphu angu-7 okuvimbela

Le mikhiqizo nokho ingagwenywa kalula uma sizokholelwa iziphetho zalo msebenzi. « Bonke abesifazane bachayeka kumakhemikhali angaba khona ukwandisa ingozi yabo yomdlavuza webele kodwa ngeshwa lesi sixhumanisi sishaywa indiva kakhulu », kuphawula u-Julia Brody, uMqondisi Omkhulu we-Silent Spring Institute, umbhali ngokubambisana wocwaningo. Lokhu kuze kuvele kusebenze kakhulu njengethiyori njengoba kuholela ezincomweni eziyisikhombisa zokuvikela:

• Nciphisa ukuchayeka kuphethiloli nentuthu kadizili ngangokunokwenzeka.
• Ungathengi ifenisha equkethe i-polyurethane foam futhi uqiniseke ukuthi ayizange iphathwe ngama-fire retardants.
• Sebenzisa i-hood lapho upheka futhi unciphise ukusetshenziswa kokudla okushile (isibonelo, i-barbecue).
• Hlunga amanzi kampompi ngesihlungi samalahle ngaphambi kokuwasebenzisa.
• Gwema omata abangazweli amabala.
• Gwema odayi abasebenzisa i-perchlorethylene noma ezinye izinyibilikisi.
• Sebenzisa isicoci se-vacuum esifakwe isihlungi se-HEPA ukuze unciphise ukuchayeka kumakhemikhali othulini lwasekhaya.
