Nā mea hana hewa i ka palaoa: No ke aha i loaʻa ai i kā mākou oats ka chlormequat?

He mea kaulana ʻo Chlormequatmea hoʻoponopono ulu mea kanuhoʻohana ʻia e hoʻoikaika i ke ʻano o nā mea kanu a hoʻomaʻalahi i ka ʻohi ʻana. Akā, ke nānā hou ʻia nei ke kemika i ka ʻoihana meaʻai o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa ma hope o kona ʻike ʻia ʻana i nā waihona oat o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. ʻOiai ua pāpā ʻia ka mea kanu no ka ʻai ʻana ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, ua loaʻa ka chlormequat i loko o kekahi mau huahana oat i loaʻa no ke kūʻai ʻana ma ka ʻāina holoʻokoʻa.
Ua hōʻike mua ʻia ka laha ʻana o ka chlormequat ma o ka noiʻi a me nā noiʻi i mālama ʻia e ka Environmental Working Group (EWG), kahi i ʻike ʻia ma kahi noiʻi hou i paʻi ʻia ma ka Journal of Exposure Science and Environmental Epidemiology, i loko o ʻelima mau hihia ua ʻike ʻia ka chlormequat i loko o nā laʻana mimi o ʻehā o lākou. ʻehā mau mea komo. .
Ua hōʻike ʻo Alexis Temkin, he loea ʻawahia me ka Environmental Working Group, i kona hopohopo e pili ana i nā hopena olakino o ka chlormequat, me ka ʻōlelo ʻana: "ʻO ka hoʻohana nui ʻana o kēia pesticide i aʻo liʻiliʻi ʻia i loko o ke kanaka e paʻakikī ai ka mālama ʻana. ʻike kekahi ua ʻai ʻia ʻo ia. "
ʻO ka ʻike ʻana he ʻokoʻa ka nui o ka chlormequat i loko o nā meaʻai nui mai ka ʻike ʻole ʻia a i ka 291 μg/kg ua hoʻāla i ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa e pili ana i nā hopena olakino no nā mea kūʻai aku, ʻoiai ua pili ka chlormequat me nā hopena hānau maikaʻi ʻole a me nā hopena hānau maikaʻi ʻole i nā haʻawina holoholona.
ʻOiai ke kūlana o ka US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ʻo ia ka haʻahaʻa o ka pilikia o ka chlormequat ke hoʻohana ʻia e like me ka mea i ʻōlelo ʻia, he mea hopohopo kona ʻike ʻia ʻana i nā huahana oat kaulana e like me Cheerios lāua ʻo Quaker Oats. Pono koke kēia kūlana i kahi ala ʻoi aku ka paʻa a me ka piha no ka nānā ʻana i ka lako meaʻai, a me nā haʻawina hohonu e pili ana i ka toxicological a me ka epidemiological e loiloi pono ai i nā pilikia olakino e pili ana i ka hōʻike ʻana i ka chlormequat.
ʻO ka pilikia nui aia i loko o nā ʻano hoʻoponopono a me ka nānā ʻana i ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā mea hoʻoponopono ulu a me nā pesticides i ka hana ʻana i nā mea kanu. ʻO ka loaʻa ʻana o ka chlormequat i loko o nā lako oat home (ʻoiai kona kūlana pāpā ʻia) e hōʻike ana i nā hemahema o ke ʻano hoʻoponopono o kēia wā a kuhikuhi i ka pono no ka hoʻokō ikaika ʻana i nā kānāwai e kū nei a me ka hoʻomohala ʻana paha i nā alakaʻi olakino lehulehu hou.
Ua hoʻokūpaʻa ʻo Temkin i ke koʻikoʻi o ka hoʻoponopono ʻana, me ka ʻōlelo ʻana, "He kuleana koʻikoʻi ko ke aupuni pekelala i ka hōʻoia ʻana i ka nānā pono ʻana, ka noiʻi ʻana, a me ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i nā pesticides. Akā naʻe, ke hoʻomau nei ka Environmental Protection Agency i ka haʻalele ʻana i kāna kauoha e pale i nā keiki mai nā kemika i kā lākou meaʻai. Kuleana no ka pōʻino hiki ke loaʻa." nā pōʻino olakino mai nā kemika ʻawaʻawa e like me chlormequat."
Hōʻike pū kēia kūlana i ke koʻikoʻi o ka ʻike o ka mea kūʻai aku a me kāna kuleana i ka hoʻolaha ʻana i ke olakino lehulehu. ʻO nā mea kūʻai aku i ʻike ʻia e hopohopo nei e pili ana i nā pilikia olakino e pili ana i ka chlormequat e huli nui nei i nā huahana oat organik ma ke ʻano he hana palekana e hōʻemi i ka hōʻike ʻana i kēia a me nā kemika ʻē aʻe e hopohopo nei. ʻAʻole wale kēia hoʻololi e hōʻike i kahi ala proactive i ke olakino, akā hōʻailona pū kekahi i ka pono ākea no ka transparency a me ka palekana i nā hana hana meaʻai.
ʻO ka loaʻa ʻana o ka chlormequat ma ka lako oat ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa he pilikia nui ia e pili ana i nā wahi o ka hoʻoponopono, ke olakino lehulehu, a me ka palekana o nā mea kūʻai. ʻO ka hoʻoponopono pono ʻana i kēia pilikia e pono ai ka laulima ma waena o nā keʻena aupuni, ka ʻāpana mahiʻai a me ka lehulehu e hōʻoia i kahi lako meaʻai palekana a ʻaʻohe mea haumia.
I ʻApelila 2023, ma muli o kahi noi i waiho ʻia e ka mea hana chlormequat ʻo Taminco i ka makahiki 2019, ua manaʻo ka ʻOihana Hoʻomalu Kaiapuni o Biden e ʻae i ka hoʻohana ʻana o ka chlormequat i ka bale, ka ʻoka, ka triticale a me ka palaoa o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa no ka manawa mua, akā ua kūʻē ʻo EWG i ka hoʻolālā. ʻAʻole i hoʻopau ʻia nā lula i manaʻo ʻia.
I ka hoʻomau ʻana o ka noiʻi e hōʻike i nā hopena o ka chlormequat a me nā kemika like ʻē aʻe, pono e lilo ka hoʻomohala ʻana i nā hoʻolālā piha e pale i ke olakino o ka mea kūʻai me ka ʻole o ka hoʻopilikia ʻana i ka pono a me ka hoʻomau ʻana o nā ʻōnaehana hana meaʻai i mea nui.
ʻO ka Food Institute ke "kumu hoʻokahi" mua loa no nā luna hoʻokele o ka ʻoihana meaʻai no nā makahiki he 90 a ʻoi, e hāʻawi ana i ka ʻike hana ma o nā mea hou o ka leka uila i kēlā me kēia lā, nā hōʻike hebedoma o ka Food Institute a me kahi waihona noiʻi pūnaewele nui. ʻOi aku kā mākou mau ʻano hōʻiliʻili ʻike ma mua o nā "huli huaʻōlelo" maʻalahi.
