I-PFHxS ibandakanyiwe kulawulo lolawulo lwe-POPs zase-UK

NgoNovemba 15, 2023, i-UK ikhuphe ummiselo we-UK SI 2023/1217 ukuhlaziya umda wolawulo lwemigaqo ye-POPs, kubandakanywa ne-perfluorohexanesulfonic acid (PFHxS), iityuwa zayo, kunye nezinto eziyeleleneyo, ngomhla osebenzayo we-16 kaNovemba 2023.
Emva kweBrexit, i-UK isalandela iimfuno ezifanelekileyo zolawulo lwe-EU POPs Regulation (EU) 2019/1021. Olu hlaziyo luyangqinelana nohlaziyo lwe-EU luka-Agasti kwi-PFHxS, iityuwa zayo, kunye neemfuno zolawulo lwezinto ezinxulumeneyo, ezisebenza kwi-Great Britain (kuquka iNgilani, iSkotlani, neWales). Izithintelo ezithile zezi zilandelayo:

Izinto zePFAS zihlala zisiba ngumxholo oshushu kwihlabathi liphela. Okwangoku, izithintelo kwizinto zePFAS kwiManyano yaseYurophu zishwankathelwa ngolu hlobo lulandelayo. Amanye amazwe aseYurophu angengowaseYurophu aneemfuno ezifanayo zePFAS, kubandakanya iNorway, iSwitzerland, iUnited Kingdom, kunye nezinye.

Ukusetyenziswa okuqhelekileyo kwePFHxS kunye neetyuwa zayo kunye nezinto ezinxulumene nazo
(1) I-foam esekelwe kumanzi eyenza ifilimu (AFFF) yokukhusela umlilo
(2) I-Metal electroplating
(3) Izinto ezilukiweyo, ufele, kunye nokuhombisa ngaphakathi
(4) Ii-agent zokucoca kunye nokucoca
5
(6) I-Electronics kunye ne-semiconductor intsimi yokuvelisa
Ukongezelela, ezinye iindidi zokusetyenziswa ezinokubakho zingabandakanya i-insecticides, i-flame retardants, iphepha kunye nokupakisha, imboni yepetroleum, kunye neoli ye-hydraulic. I-PFHxS, iityuwa zayo, kunye neekhompawundi ezinxulumene ne-PFHxS zisetyenzisiwe kwiimveliso ezithile zabathengi ezisekwe kwiPFAS.
I-PFHxS yeyodidi lwezinto ze-PFAS. Ukongeza kwimimiselo ekhankanywe ngasentla elawula i-PFHxS, iityuwa zayo, kunye nezinto ezinxulumene noko, amazwe amaninzi okanye imimandla ikwalawula iPFAS njengodidi olukhulu lwezinto. Ngenxa yokwenzakala okunokwenzeka kokusingqongileyo kunye nempilo yabantu, iPFAS iye yanda kakhulu ekulawuleni. Amazwe amaninzi kunye nemimandla ibeke izithintelo kwi-PFAS, kwaye ezinye iinkampani ziye zabandakanyeka kumatyala ngenxa yokusetyenziswa okanye ukungcoliseka kwezinto ze-PFAS. Kumaza olawulo lwehlabathi lwePFAS, amashishini kufuneka athathele ingqalelo kwangexesha kumandla olawulo kwaye enze umsebenzi olungileyo kubonelelo lolawulo lokusingqongileyo ukuqinisekisa ukuthotyelwa kwemveliso kunye nokhuseleko olungena kwimarike yokuthengisa ehambelanayo.
