"Ua hoʻi hou ʻo dj vu." Ma ka Horticulture and Home Pest News, ʻApelila 3, 1991, ua hoʻokomo mākou i kahi ʻatikala e pili ana i nā pōʻino o ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka "insecticide chalk" no ka mālama ʻana i nā pest home. Aia ka pilikia ma laila, e like me ka mea i hōʻike ʻia ma kēia ka hoʻokuʻu nūhou ʻo California Environmental Protection Agency (hoʻololi ʻia).

OLELO HOOLAHA MA KA PESTICIDE "CHALK": PINO I NA KEIKI

Ua aʻo aku ke Keʻena o Kaleponi o ka Hoʻoponopono Pesticide a me nā lawelawe olakino i kēia lā i nā mea kūʻai aku e kūʻē i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka ʻōpala insecticide. "He mea weliweli kēia mau huahana. Hiki i nā keiki ke kuhi hewa iā lākou no ka peni hale maʻamau, "wahi a ka Luna Ola Ola ʻo James Stratton, MD, MPH, "Pono nā mea kūʻai aku e pale aku iā lākou." "ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻo ka hana ʻana i kahi lāʻau insecticide e like me ka mea pāʻani he mea pōʻino - a me ke kānāwai ʻole," wahi a ka Luna Nui o DPR Jean-Mari Peltier.

ʻO nā huahana - kūʻai ʻia ma lalo o nā inoa kālepa like ʻole me Pretty Baby Chalk, a me Miraculous Insecticide Chalk - he mea weliweli no nā kumu ʻelua. ʻO ka mea mua, hiki iā lākou ke kuhi hewa ʻia ʻo ka peni maʻamau o ka hale a ʻai ʻia e nā keiki, e hoʻoulu ai i nā maʻi. ʻO ka lua, ʻaʻole i hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻia nā huahana, a ʻaʻole i hoʻoponopono ʻia nā mea hoʻohui a me ka hoʻopili.

Ua hana ka US Environmental Protection Agency i kekahi o nā mea hoʻolaha a ua hoʻopuka i kahi kauoha iā Pretty Baby Co., ma Pomona, Calif., "e ho'ōki i ke kūʻai ʻana i kahi huahana ʻaʻole i kākau inoa ʻia e hōʻino i ke olakino lehulehu." Ke kūʻai ikaika nei ʻo Pretty Baby i kāna huahana i kākau inoa ʻole ʻia i nā mea kūʻai aku a me nā kula ma ka Pūnaewele a ma nā hoʻolaha nūpepa.

"He mea weliweli loa nā huahana e like me kēia," wahi a Peltier. "Hiki i ka mea hana - a ke hoʻololi i ke ʻano mai kahi pūʻulu a i kekahi." No ka laʻana, ʻekolu mau laʻana o kahi huahana i kapa ʻia ʻo "Miraculous Insecticide Chalk" i loiloi ʻia e DPR i ka mahina i hala. Loaʻa i ʻelua ka insecticide deltamethrin; ʻo ke kolu i loaʻa ka cypermethrin insecticide.

ʻO Deltamethrin a me cypermethrin nā pyrethroids synthetic. Hiki i ka overexposure ke hoʻopuka i nā hopena olakino koʻikoʻi, e like me ka luaʻi ʻana, ka ʻeha ʻōpū, ka ʻūlū, ka haʻalulu, ka coma, a me ka make ma muli o ka hiki ʻole o ka hanu. Hiki nō hoʻi nā hopena allergy koʻikoʻi.

Ua ʻike ʻia nā pahu waihoʻoluʻu i hoʻohana mau ʻia no kēia mau huahana i loaʻa nā pae kiʻekiʻe o ke kēpau a me nā metala kaumaha ʻē aʻe i loko o ka ʻeke. He pilikia paha kēia inā hoʻokomo nā keiki i ka pahu i loko o ko lākou waha a i ʻole mālama i nā pahu a hoʻoili i ke koena metala i ko lākou waha.

Hoʻopili ʻia nā hōʻike o nā maʻi kaʻawale i nā keiki i ka ʻai ʻana a i ʻole ka lawelawe ʻana i ka penikala. ʻO ka mea koʻikoʻi loa i hana ʻia i ka makahiki 1994, i ka wā i mālama ʻia ai kahi keiki San Diego i ka haukapila ma hope o ka ʻai ʻana i ka peni insecticidal.

ʻAʻole pono nā mea kūʻai aku i kūʻai i kēia mau huahana kūʻokoʻa. E hoʻolei i ka huahana ma nā hale ʻōpala pōʻino.
