I-Toxic-Free Future ihlose ukudala ikusasa elinempilo ngokukhuthaza ukusetshenziswa kwemikhiqizo ephephile, amakhemikhali kanye nemikhuba ngocwaningo olusezingeni eliphezulu, ukumela, ukuhlelwa kwezinhlangano eziningi kanye nokubandakanya abathengi.
I-Dichloromethane ibilokhu ihlotshaniswa nemiphumela yezempilo efana nomdlavuza, ubuthi bezinso nesibindi, ngisho nokufa. I-Environmental Protection Agency ibilokhu iqaphela lezi zingozi amashumi eminyaka, kanti abantu abangu-85 bashonile phakathi kuka-1980 no-2018.
Naphezu kokuba khona kwezinye izindlela eziphephile kanye nobufakazi bokuthi i-methylene chloride ingabulala ngokushesha, i-EPA iyephuza kakhulu ukuthatha isinyathelo ngale khemikhali eyingozi.
I-EPA isanda kusikisela umthetho ovimbela ingxenye enkulu “yokukhiqiza, ukucubungula, kanye nokusatshalaliswa kwe-methylene chloride kuzo zonke izinjongo zabathengi kanye nezezimboni nezentengiselwano” futhi inikeze izimboni ezithile kanye nezinhlangano zikahulumeni ukukhululwa okwesikhashana.
Sesilinde isikhathi eside ngokwanele. Ukuze uvikele abasebenzi kanye nomphakathi, sicela weluleke i-Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ukuthi iqedele umthethonqubo we-methylene chloride ngokushesha okukhulu ukuze kuvinjelwe ukusetshenziswa kwalesi sikhemikhali esiyingozi, uma kungesona sonke.
