Ukupakishwa Kokudla Okungenayo i-PFAS: Umhlahlandlela Wakho Wokuthobela Imithetho ka-2026

NEsikhathini eside esidlule, i-PFAS yayiyindinganiso engabonakali embonini yokupakisha ukudla. Imikhiqizo yayithembele kulezi zingubo zamakhemikhali ezifihliwe ukuze yengeze ukumelana namafutha, izithiyo ezingangeni manzi, kanye nokuqina kwesakhiwo ezitsheni zokuthatha ukudla, izingqwembe zama-burger, kanye namabhokisi e-pizza ngaphandle kokucabanga kabili.Ngo-2026, lelo zinga lizophela.Njengoba yayike yalahlwa njengento ekhathazayo yesikhathi eside ngemvelo, i-PFAS - eyaziwa kabanzi ngokuthi "amakhemikhali angunaphakade" - manje ivinjelwe ngenkuthalo, ilawulwa ngokuqinile, futhi iphoqelelwa ngamandla ezimakethe zomhlaba wonke. Lokhu akuseyona indlela yokuzithandela yokuzinza. Kuyisidingo sokuthobela imithetho yezomthethoyonke imikhiqizo yokudla ethengisa amafutha, uwoyela, noma imikhiqizo epakishwe ngendlela ethinta umswakama.

Umthetho Wokupakishwa Nokupakishwa Kwemfucuza Obalulekile we-EU (PPWR) ufika mhla ziyi-12 kuNcwaba 2026. Ukuvinjelwa okuningi kombuso wase-US kwaqala ukusebenza mhla lu-1 kuJanuwari 2026. Imikhawulo emisha yokupakisha ye-PFAS yaseCanada yethulwe mhla zingama-30 kuNhlangulana 2026. Ukuvinjelwa kombuso wase-US kuyaqhubeka ngokushesha, njengoba i-UK, i-Australia, ne-China zikhipha imithetho efanayo kuze kube sekupheleni konyaka.Izindaba ezinhle kakhulu zemikhiqizo yokudla? Ukuthobela imithetho akudingi ukulungiswa okubizayo noma ukushintshana okuyingozi ngomzuzu wokugcina. Uma usuvele usebenzisaukupakishwa kwefayibha okusekelwe ezitshalweni— kufaka phakathi i-bagasse, utshani bukakolweni, kanye noqalo — cishe uvumelana nezindinganiso zokupakishwa ezingenayo i-PFAS zika-2026. Lezi zinto zemvelo zinikeza ukumelana okuthembekile kwamafutha kanye nomswakama ngaphandle kokuhlanganiswa ngamakhemikhali anombala oluhlaza.Kulo mhlahlandlela ophelele wokuthobela imithetho ka-2026, sichaza kahle ukuthi yini yesimanjeImithethonqubo ye-PFASkusho imikhiqizo yokudla neziphuzo, qokomisa izinsuku zokugcina zomhlaba wonke ezingaxoxiswana ngazo, futhi wabelane ngezinyathelo ezingasetshenziswa ukuze kuvinjwe ukuthobela imithetho okugcwele okungena-PFAS namuhla.

Iyini i-PFAS, futhi kungani ikhona ekupakishweni kokudla?

I-PFAS (izinto ze-per- kanye ne-polyfluoroalkyl) ziwumndeni omkhulu wamakhemikhali okwenziwa achazwa yizibopho zamamolekyuli ze-carbon-fluorine ezinamandla kakhulu. Lesi sakhiwo esiyingqayizivele siwenza aqine kakhulu - aqine kangangokuthi amelana nokuwohloka kwemvelo noma emzimbeni womuntu, okuwenza abe yisidlaliso "samakhemikhali angunaphakade".Sekungamashumi eminyaka imboni yokupakisha ukudla ithembele ku-PFAS ngesizathu esisodwa esiyinhloko:ukumelana namafutha.Iphepha elijwayelekile elingamboziwe kanye nebhodi lephepha linezimbobo.Ngaphandle kokwelashwa ngamakhemikhali, uwoyela oshisayo, amafutha, kanye nomswakama kungena ngokushesha ezingxobeni, emabhokisini e-pizza, nasezitsheni zefayibha ezibunjiwe, konakalisa ukupakishwa futhi kudale okuhlangenwe nakho kwamakhasimende okungahlelekile. Izembozo ze-PFAS zaxazulula le nkinga kahle - kwaze kwaba yilapho izindleko zezempilo nezemvelo zesikhathi eside zingaba nzima ukuzinaki.Amakhemikhali e-PFAS njaloisuka ekupakishweni iye ekudleni ngesikhathi sokugcina, ukuthuthwa, kanye nokushisa. Ukuchayeka njalo kuhlobene nezingozi ezinkulu zempilo, okuhlanganisa ukuphazamiseka kwamahomoni, ukusebenza komzimba okubuthakathaka, kanye nezingozi zomdlavuza eziphakeme. La makhemikhali aqoqana unomphela enhlabathini nasemanzini angaphansi komhlaba, okudala ukungcoliswa kwemvelo kwezizukulwane.Ukuqonda okubalulekile kwemikhiqizo yanamuhla?Izembozo ze-PFAS azisadingeki. Ukupakishwa kwefayibha yezitshalo okuthuthukisiwe kufinyelela ukumelana kwamafutha kanye nomswakama wezinga lokuhweba ngobunjiniyela bezakhiwo zemvelo, awekho amakhemikhali okwenziwa ane-fluorine adingekayo.

Izinsuku Zokugcina Zokupakisha ze-PFAS zika-2026 Okufanele Zilandelwe Yilowo Nalowo Mkhiqizo Wokudla

Unyaka ka-2026 ngunyaka lapho imithethonqubo ye-PFAS yomhlaba wonke ishintsha khona isuka “ephakanyisiwe” iye “eqiniswe ngokugcwele.” Azikho izikhathi zomusa, azikho izikhala zokuphelelwa yisikhathi kwesitoko, futhi azikho izinto ezihlukile zokungcoliswa kokulandela umkhondo okungahlosiwe.
