Ngaba uyazi ukuba ngalo lonke ixesha usela amanzi kwibhotile yeplastiki ngamanzi amaneral, ngaba uginya amasuntswana eplastiki ye-microscopic? Isifundo esiqhutywa yiYunivesithi yaseNew York ngo-2018 sabonisa ukuba amaqhekeza amancinci eplastiki akhoyo ngaphezulu kwe-90% yeesampulu eziqokelelwe kwiimpawu zamanzi ezidumileyo zebhotile ezidumileyo zebhotile ezidumileyo zebhotile.
Amanzi okuqala okwenyani ahamba nesisombululo esikhethekileyo sokucoca amanzi amancinci ukusuka ebhotwe kwi-bilimes, eyenye yezona ngxaki ziphambili eziphazamisayo zezempilo ukusukela ngo-2019, xa sele iphandwe kuqala.
IYunivesithi yaseNew York iqhube isifundo ngeebhotile ezingama-259 zamanzi okusela apakishwe 11 zoBeki ezivela kumazwe alithoba - i-India, eKedonon, eKenya, e-United States. Emva kokuba iziphumo zophando zenziwa esidlangalaleni, uMbutho wezeMpilo weHlabathi (WHO) okhuphe ukujonga umngcipheko onokubakho onxulumene nobukho bamasuntswana ngeplastiki. Olu phononongo lubonise ukuba ngokomndilili, umntu unokuthi asebenzise amasuntswana angama-2000, omalunga ne-5 yeegram zeplastiki ngeveki.
Ilula, kodwa yoyilo oluyedwa lwe-BOBLE YAMANZI AMANZI AMANZI AMANZI AMANZI AMANZI AMANZI AMANQAKU AMANQAKU AMANQAKU, EXELELWEYO YONKE I-BOTTLE ZOBUCHULE, NOKOBANGELA IZIGUKA ZOBUNGOZI NGEEMPILO ZEEMPENDULO. Esi siciko siyakwazi ukucoca amasuntswana amancinci ngeplastiki ukuya kuthi ga kwi-0.005 mm.
Isigqubuthelo sokwenyani samanzi sinokutsalwa malunga neelitha ezingama-120 zamanzi. Ukuba ngumndilili, umntu usela iilitha ezimbini zamanzi ngosuku, ke loo nto i-cap iya kuhlala iinyanga ezimbini. Nangona kunjalo, kufuneka icocwe, ihlambe phantsi kwamanzi abalekayo ukuze ifezekise ubomi obungcono, kwaye igcinwe kwindawo eyomileyo xa ingasetyenziswanga. Inkampani ikwabonelela ngetyala lokugcina.
Amanzi okwenyani akhuphe imveliso yayo yokuqala ngoJuni 2020 kwaye afumane uphononongo oluhle. Kwinyanga enye, amanzi okwenyani asungula ukubaluleka kwemveliso yobuninzi kwaye afumene inkxaso-mali.
Okwangoku, iNkampani ilungiselela ukuthumela ngaphandle iifilitha zayo ezizodwa zesigqubuthelo sebhotile eJapan naseTaiwan. Ngokwabameli benkampani,
Umbuzo we-microplastik kumanzi anebhotile ibaluleke kakhulu kuneKorea. Abanye abantu beBrand phesheya banamasuntswana angama-10,000 ee-microplasty ngelitha yamanzi. Ekubeni ibango labo liphezulu, silungiselela ukufaka imarike yaphesheya.
Imveliso yokwenyani yamanzi ifumene "isatifikethi sokungabikho kwezinto ezinobungozi" emva kovavanyo kwisiko laseKorea lovavanyo kunye nophando. Ukongeza, ngenxa yeemvavanyo eziqhutywa liZiko laseKorea lokwakha kwindawo yokuhlala, laqinisekiswa ukuba ayinayo i-bisphenol a *.
* Ibisphenol A (BPA) yenye yeendlela ezisetyenziswa rhoqo ekuvelisweni kwezinto zemfuno yemihla ngemihla. Okokuqala, ihlala ikho njengenxalenye yeplastiki, kubandakanya ukupakishwa kweplastiki apho ukutya kugcinwe khona. Le nto ibhekisa kwiichemicals ezitshabalalisa inkqubo ye-endocrine kwaye inetyhefu ye-epigenetic.
