I-California yengeze imikhawulo ku-PFAS nezinto ze-bisphenol

Muva nje, i-California ikhiphe uMthethosivivinywa weSenethi SB 1266, ochibiyela izidingo ezithile zokuphepha komkhiqizo kuMthetho Wezempilo Nokuphepha wase-California (Izigaba 108940, 108941 kanye no-108942). Lesi sibuyekezo sivimbela izinhlobo ezimbili zemikhiqizo yezingane equkethei-bisphenol, ama-perfluorocarbon, noma izinto ze-perfluoroalkyl, ngaphandle kwalapho lezi zinto zingamakhemikhali abalulekile okwesikhashana.

Igama elithi "imikhiqizo yokuphakela izingane" lapha libhekisela emikhiqizweni ethengwayo eklanyelwe ukugcwalisa noma yiluphi uketshezi, ukudla, noma isiphuzo, ngokuyinhloko esihloselwe izingane ezingaphansi kweminyaka engu-12 ubudala ukuthi ziphuze kulelo bhodlela noma inkomishi. Imikhiqizo yokumunca noma yokukhipha amazinyo ezingane ibhekisela emikhiqizweni ethengwayo esiza izingane ezingaphansi kweminyaka engu-12 ubudala ekunceleni noma ukuncelisa amazinyo ukuze zikhuthaze ukulala noma ukuphumula.
Igama elithi "Ikhemikhali elibalulekile okwesikhashana" okubhekiselwe kulo kulo mthethosivivinywa lisho amakhemikhali ahlangabezana nalezi zindlela ezilandelayo:
(1) Okwamanje ayikho enye indlela ephephe ngaphezu kwaleli khemikhali;
(2) Leli khemikhali liyadingeka ukuze umkhiqizo usebenze ngendlela elindelekile;
(3) Leli khemikhali lisetshenziswa emikhiqizweni ebalulekile kwezempilo, ukuphepha, noma ukusebenza komphakathi.
