ISILUMKISO ESIKHUTSHILEYO NGE-“CHEKI” ISIVIVINYO:INGOZI EBANTWANENI

Amasebe aseCalifornia okuLawulwa kwePesticide kunye neeNkonzo zezeMpilo namhlanje alumkise abathengi ngokuchasene nokusebenzisa itshoki engekho mthethweni yezinambuzane.“Ezi mveliso ziyingozi ngenkohliso.Abantwana banokubaphazama ngokulula ngetshokhwe eqhelekileyo yasekhaya,” latsho iGosa lezeMpilo leSizwe uJames Stratton, MD, MPH, “Abathengi bafanele babaphephe.”"Ngokucacileyo, ukwenza isibulali-zinambuzane sibonakale ngathi yinto yokudlala kuyingozi-kwaye akukho mthethweni," utshilo uSekela Mlawuli oyiNtloko we-DPR uJean-Mari Peltier.

Iimveliso - ezithengiswa phantsi kwamagama ahlukeneyo orhwebo kuquka i-Pretty Baby Chalk, kunye ne-Miraculous Insecticide Chalk - ziyingozi ngenxa yezizathu ezibini.Okokuqala, banokuba kwaye baye baphosakele ngetshokhwe yendlu eqhelekileyo kwaye badliwe ngabantwana, okubangela izifo ezininzi.Okwesibini, iimveliso azibhaliswanga, kwaye izithako kunye nokupakishwa azilawulwa.

I-Arhente yoKhuseleko lokusiNgqongileyo yase-US ithathe amanyathelo ngokuchasene nomnye wabasasazi kwaye ikhuphe umyalelo ku-Pretty Baby Co., ePomona, eCalifornia, ukuba "bayeke ukuthengisa imveliso engabhaliswanga eyingozi kwimpilo yoluntu."UPretty Baby uthengisa ngemveliso engabhaliswanga kubathengi nakwizikolo kwi-Intanethi nakwiintengiso zamaphephandaba.

“Iimveliso ezinje zinokuba yingozi kakhulu,” utshilo uPeltier."Umvelisi unako-kwaye uyatshintsha-ifomula ukusuka kwibhetshi enye ukuya kwelandelayo."Umzekelo, iisampulu ezintathu zemveliso ebhalwe "I-Miraculous Insecticide Chalk" zahlalutywa yi-DPR kwinyanga ephelileyo.Emibini yayiqulethe isibulali-zinambuzane ideltamethrin;eyesithathu yayinesibulali-zinambuzane icypermethrin.

Deltamethrin kunye necypermethrin zipyrethroids zokwenziwa.Ukubonakaliswa ngokugqithiseleyo kunokuvelisa imiphumo emibi yempilo, kuquka ukugabha, iintlungu zesisu, ukuxhuzula, ukungcangcazela, ukuqaqanjelwa, nokufa ngenxa yokungaphefumli kakuhle.Ukwalana okumandundu nako kuyenzeka.

Iibhokisi ezimibalabala ezidla ngokusetyenziswa kwezi mveliso zifunyaniswe zinemigangatho ephezulu yelothe kunye nezinye iintsimbi ezinzima kwipakethe.Oku kunokuba yingxaki ukuba abantwana babeka ibhokisi emlonyeni wabo okanye baphathe iibhokisi kwaye badlulisele intsalela yentsimbi emlonyeni wabo.

Iingxelo zezifo ezizimeleyo kubantwana ziye zadibaniswa nokusela okanye ukuphathwa kwetshokhwe.Esona sibi kakhulu senzeka ngo-1994, xa umntwana waseSan Diego walaliswa esibhedlele emva kokutya itshoko yesibulali-zinambuzane.
