Ngomhla ziyi-15 kuNovemba 2023, i-UK yakhipha umthethonqubo we-UK SI 2023/1217 wokubuyekeza umkhawulo wokulawula wemithetho yayo ye-POPs, okuhlanganisa ne-perfluorohexanesulfonic acid (PFHxS), usawoti wayo, nezinto ezihlobene nayo, enosuku olusebenza ngayo lukaNovemba 16, 2023.
Ngemuva kwe-Brexit, i-UK isalandela izimfuneko zokulawula ezifanele ze-EU POPs Regulation (EU) 2019/1021. Lesi sibuyekezo sihambisana nesibuyekezo se-EU sika-Agasti ku-PFHxS, usawoti wayo, nezimfuneko zokulawula izinto ezihlobene, ezisebenza e-Great Britain (okuhlanganisa i-England, Scotland, ne-Wales). Imikhawulo ethile imi kanje:
Izinto ze-PFAS zihlala ziba isihloko esishisayo emhlabeni jikelele. Njengamanje, imikhawulo yezinto ze-PFAS e-European Union ifingqiwe kanje. Amanye amazwe angewona e-EU aseYurophu nawo anezidingo ezifanayo zePFAS, okuhlanganisa iNorway, iSwitzerland, i-United Kingdom, namanye.
Ukusetshenziswa okuvamile kwe-PFHxS nosawoti wayo nezinto ezihlobene
(1) Igwebu elisekelwe emanzini elenza ifilimu (AFFF) ukuze kuvikelwe umlilo
(2) I-Metal electroplating
(3) Izindwangu, isikhumba, nokuhlobisa kwangaphakathi
(4) Izinto zokupholisha nezokuhlanza
(5) Ukumboza, ukumilisa/ukuvikela (okusetshenziselwa ukuvikela umswakama, ukuvikela isikhutha, njll.)
(6) Inkambu yokukhiqiza kagesi kanye ne-semiconductor
Ngaphezu kwalokho, ezinye izigaba ezingase zisetshenziswe zingase zihlanganise ama-insecticides, ama-flame retardants, iphepha nokupakisha, imboni ye-petroleum, namafutha we-hydraulic. I-PFHxS, usawoti wayo, kanye nezinhlanganisela ezihlobene ne-PFHxS kusetshenziswe emikhiqizweni ethile yabathengi esekelwe ku-PFAS.
I-PFHxS ingeyesigaba sezinto ze-PFAS. Ngokungeziwe emithethweni eshiwo ngenhla elawula i-PFHxS, usawoti wayo, nezinto ezihlobene, amazwe amaningi noma izifunda nazo zilawula i-PFAS njengesigaba esikhulu sezinto. Ngenxa yokulimala okungaba khona emvelweni nempilo yabantu, i-PFAS isithandwa kakhulu ukulawula. Amazwe amaningi nezifunda zibeke imingcele ku-PFAS, kanti ezinye izinkampani bezibandakanyeke emacaleni ngenxa yokusetshenziswa noma ukungcoliswa kwezinto ze-PFAS. Kugagasi lokulawulwa komhlaba wonke kwe-PFAS, amabhizinisi kufanele anake ngesikhathi esifanele amandla okulawula futhi enze umsebenzi omuhle ekulawuleni i-supply chain ukulawulwa kwemvelo ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuhambisana nokuphepha komkhiqizo ongena emakethe yokuthengisa ehambisanayo.
Isikhathi sokuthumela: Feb-20-2024
