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

He mea kaulana ʻo Chlormequatmea hoʻoponopono uluhoʻohana ʻia no ka hoʻoikaika ʻana i ke ʻano mea kanu a maʻalahi i ka ʻohi ʻana. Akā ke nānā hou ʻia nei ke kemika i ka ʻoihana meaʻai US ma hope o kāna ʻike ʻole ʻia a pālahalaha ʻia ma nā ʻāpana oat US. ʻOiai ua pāpā ʻia ka mea kanu no ka ʻai ʻana ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, ua loaʻa ka chlormequat i nā huahana oat i loaʻa no ke kūʻai ʻana ma ka ʻāina.
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), i loko o kahi noiʻi hou i paʻi ʻia ma ka Journal of Exposure Science and Environmental Epidemiology, ua ʻike ʻia i loko o ʻelima mau hihia ua ʻike ʻia ka chlormequat i loko o nā samples urine. ʻehā o lākou. ʻehā hui. .
Ua hōʻike ʻo Alexis Temkin, he mea toxicologist me ka Environmental Working Group, i ka hopohopo e pili ana i nā hopena olakino o ka chlormequat, me ka ʻōlelo ʻana: "ʻO ka hoʻohana nui ʻana o kēia pesticide aʻo liʻiliʻi i nā kānaka he mea paʻakikī ke mālama. Ua ʻike kekahi ua ʻai ʻia ʻo ia. “
ʻO ka loaʻa ʻana o nā pae o ka chlormequat i nā meaʻai koʻikoʻi mai ka ʻike ʻole ʻia a hiki i ka 291 μg/kg ua hoʻāla ʻia ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa e pili ana i nā hopena olakino e hiki mai ana i nā mea kūʻai aku, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka pili ʻana o ka chlormequat me nā hopena hānau hānau ʻino a me nā hopena hānau hānau ʻino i nā haʻawina holoholona. no nā pilikia me ka ulu ʻana o ka fetal.
ʻOiai ke kūlana o ka US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ʻo ia ka chlormequat i ka haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa ke hoʻohana ʻia e like me ka ʻōlelo ʻia, ʻo kona hele ʻana i nā huahana oat kaulana e like me Cheerios a me Quaker Oats he mea hopohopo. Ke koi koke nei kēia kūlana i kahi ala ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī a me ka piha i ka nānā ʻana i ka lako meaʻai, a me nā noiʻi toxicological a me epidemiological hohonu e loiloi pono i nā pilikia olakino e pili ana i ka hoʻolaha ʻana i ka chlormequat.
Aia ka pilikia nui ma nā ʻano hoʻoponopono a me ka nānā ʻana i ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā mea hoʻoponopono ulu a me nā pesticides i ka hana hua. ʻO ka loaʻa ʻana o ka chlormequat i loko o nā lako oat home (ʻoiai ʻo kona kūlana pāpā ʻia) e hōʻike ana i nā hemahema o ke kaʻina hoʻoponopono o kēia lā a kuhikuhi i ka pono o ka hoʻokō ʻana i nā kānāwai e kū nei a me ka hoʻomohala ʻana i nā alakaʻi olakino hou.
Ua hoʻoikaika ʻo Temkin i ke koʻikoʻi o ka hoʻoponopono ʻana, me ka ʻōlelo ʻana, "He kuleana koʻikoʻi ke aupuni federal i ka hōʻoia ʻana i ka nānā pono, noiʻi, a me ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i nā pesticides. Ke hoʻomau nei ka Environmental Protection Agency i kāna kauoha e pale i nā keiki mai nā kemika i kā lākou meaʻai. Ke kuleana no ka pilikia. nā pōʻino olakino mai nā mea ʻona e like me ka chlormequat."
Hōʻike pū kēia kūlana i ke koʻikoʻi o ka ʻike mea kūʻai aku a me kāna hana i ka ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo olakino lehulehu. ʻO nā mea kūʻai aku e hopohopo nei e pili ana i nā pilikia olakino e pili ana i ka chlormequat ke huli nei i nā huahana oat organik i mea e mālama ai i ka hōʻemi ʻana i kēia a me nā mea kemika e hopohopo nei. ʻAʻole hōʻike wale kēia neʻe i kahi ala kūpono i ke olakino, akā hōʻailona pū kekahi i ka pono ākea no ka ʻike a me ka palekana i nā hana hana meaʻai.
ʻO ka loaʻa ʻana o ka chlormequat i ka hāʻawi ʻana i ka oat US he pilikia multifaceted e pili ana i nā wahi o ka hoʻoponopono, olakino lehulehu, a me ka pale o nā mea kūʻai aku. No ka hoʻoponopono maikaʻi ʻana i kēia pilikia, pono ka hana like ʻana ma waena o nā keʻena aupuni, ka ʻoihana mahiʻai a me ka lehulehu e hōʻoia i kahi lako meaʻai palekana a me ka haumia ʻole.
I ʻApelila 2023, i ka pane ʻana i kahi noi 2019 i hoʻopiʻi ʻia e ka mea hana chlormequat Taminco, ua manaʻo ʻo Biden's Environmental Protection Agency e ʻae i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka chlormequat ma US bale, oats, triticale a me ka palaoa no ka manawa mua, akā kūʻē ʻo EWG i ka hoʻolālā. ʻAʻole i hoʻokō ʻia nā lula i manaʻo ʻia.
Ke hoʻomau nei ka noiʻi e hōʻike i ka hopena o ka chlormequat a me nā mea like ʻole, ʻo ka hoʻomohala ʻana i nā hoʻolālā holoʻokoʻa e pale ai i ke olakino o ka mea kūʻai aku me ka ʻole o ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa ʻana i ka pono a me ka hoʻomau ʻana o nā ʻōnaehana hana meaʻai pono e lilo i mea nui.
ʻO ka Food Institute ka "kumu kumu hoʻokahi" no nā luna ʻoihana meaʻai ma mua o 90 mau makahiki, e hāʻawi ana i ka ʻike hiki ke hana ma o nā leka uila i kēlā me kēia lā, nā hōʻike ʻo Food Institute i kēlā me kēia pule a me kahi waihona noiʻi pūnaewele nui. ʻO kā mākou ʻano ʻohi ʻike ma mua o ka "huli huaʻōlelo" maʻalahi.
