Toxic-Free Future mob siab rau kev tsim kom muaj lub neej yav tom ntej zoo dua los ntawm kev txhawb kom siv cov khoom lag luam, cov tshuaj lom neeg thiab cov kev coj ua uas muaj kev nyab xeeb dua los ntawm kev tshawb fawb tshiab, kev tawm tswv yim, kev koom tes ntawm cov neeg siv khoom thiab kev koom tes nrog cov neeg siv khoom.
Txij li xyoo 1980, kev raug tshuaj methylene chloride tau txuas nrog kev tuag ntawm ntau tus neeg siv khoom thiab cov neeg ua haujlwm. Ib yam tshuaj siv rau hauv cov tshuaj pleev xim thiab lwm yam khoom uas ua rau tuag tam sim ntawd los ntawm kev ua tsis taus pa thiab mob plawv, thiab tau txuas nrog mob qog noj ntshav thiab kev puas hlwb.
EPA cov lus tshaj tawm lub lim tiam dhau los kom txwv tsis pub siv feem ntau ntawm cov methylene chloride ua rau peb muaj kev cia siab tias yuav tsis muaj leej twg tuag los ntawm cov tshuaj lom neeg no.
Txoj cai lij choj uas tau muab tawm no yuav txwv tsis pub siv cov tshuaj no rau cov neeg siv khoom thiab feem ntau ntawm kev lag luam thiab kev lag luam, suav nrog cov tshuaj ntxuav roj, cov tshuaj tshem tawm cov xim pleev xim, thiab cov tshuaj tshem tawm xim lossis txheej txheej, thiab lwm yam.
Nws kuj suav nrog cov kev cai tiv thaiv chaw ua haujlwm rau cov ntawv tso cai siv tseem ceeb uas muaj sijhawm txwv thiab cov kev zam tseem ceeb rau US Department of Defense, Federal Aviation Administration, Department of Homeland Security, thiab NASA. Ua ib qho kev zam, EPA muab "cov kev pab cuam tiv thaiv tshuaj lom neeg hauv chaw ua haujlwm nrog kev txwv kev raug tshuaj kom tiv thaiv cov neeg ua haujlwm zoo dua." Uas yog, txoj cai tshem tawm cov tshuaj lom neeg lom heev ntawm cov txee hauv khw thiab feem ntau ntawm cov chaw ua haujlwm.
Txaus hais tias kev txwv tsis pub siv dichloromethane yeej yuav tsis tshwm sim raws li Txoj Cai Tswj Xyuas Cov Tshuaj Lom (TSCA) xyoo 1976, qhov kev hloov pauv uas peb pawg neeg koom tes tau ua haujlwm rau ntau xyoo, tsis yog ib qho me me.
Qhov kev nqis tes ua ntawm tsoomfwv teb chaws rau cov tshuaj lom tseem qeeb heev. Nws tsis tau pab tias thaum Lub Ib Hlis 2017, thaum cov kev hloov pauv TSCA pib siv, cov thawj coj ntawm EPA tau tawm tsam txoj cai. Yog li ntawm no peb nyob, yuav luag xya xyoo tom qab cov cai kho dua tshiab tau kos npe, thiab qhov no tsuas yog zaum ob uas EPA tau tawm tsam cov tshuaj "uas twb muaj lawm" nyob rau hauv nws txoj haujlwm.
Qhov no yog ib kauj ruam tseem ceeb rau kev tiv thaiv kev noj qab haus huv pej xeem ntawm cov tshuaj lom. Lub sijhawm ua haujlwm txog niaj hnub no qhia txog ntau xyoo ntawm kev ua haujlwm tseem ceeb kom mus txog rau qhov no.
Tsis yog qhov xav tsis thoob, methylene chloride nyob rau hauv EPA daim ntawv teev npe "Top 10" ntawm cov tshuaj lom neeg uas tau soj ntsuam thiab tswj hwm los ntawm TSCA uas tau hloov kho tshiab. Xyoo 1976, muaj peb tus neeg tuag vim raug tshuaj lom neeg sai sai, uas yuav tsum tau EPA txwv tsis pub siv nws hauv cov tshuaj tshem xim.
EPA twb muaj pov thawj ntau txog qhov txaus ntshai ntawm cov tshuaj no ntev ua ntej xyoo 2016 - qhov tseeb, cov pov thawj uas twb muaj lawm tau ua rau tus thawj coj Gina McCarthy siv EPA lub hwj chim hauv TSCA uas tau hloov kho dua tshiab los ntawm kev hais tias thaum kawg ntawm xyoo 2016 txoj hauv kev los tshem tawm cov xim thiab cov txheej txheem uas muaj methylene chloride tau raug txwv rau cov neeg siv khoom thiab chaw ua haujlwm. siv. .
Peb cov neeg tawm tsam thiab cov neeg koom tes sib koom tes zoo siab tshaj plaws los qhia ntau yam ntawm kaum txhiab tus lus tawm tswv yim uas EPA tau txais los txhawb qhov kev txwv no. Cov neeg koom tes hauv tebchaws zoo siab koom nrog peb txoj kev sib tw los yaum cov khw muag khoom xws li Lowe's thiab The Home Depot kom tsis txhob muag cov khoom no ua ntej qhov kev txwv no tiav.
Tu siab kawg li, Lub Chaw Tiv Thaiv Ib Puag Ncig, uas Scott Pruitt coj, tau tshem tawm ob txoj cai thiab ncua kev nqis tes ua ntawm kev ntsuam xyuas tshuaj lom neeg dav dua.
Vim EPA tsis ua dab tsi li, cov tsev neeg ntawm cov tub ntxhais hluas uas tuag vim noj cov khoom no tau mus rau Washington kom ntsib nrog cov tub ceev xwm EPA thiab cov tswv cuab ntawm Congress kom qhia cov neeg txog qhov txaus ntshai tiag tiag ntawm methylene chloride. Ib txhia ntawm lawv tau koom nrog peb thiab peb cov neeg koom tes hauv kev foob EPA rau kev tiv thaiv ntxiv.
Xyoo 2019, thaum EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler tshaj tawm txwv tsis pub muag khoom rau cov neeg siv khoom, peb tau sau tseg tias txawm hais tias qhov kev txav mus los no nrov heev, nws tseem ua rau cov neeg ua haujlwm muaj kev pheej hmoo.
Niam ntawm ob tug tub ntxhais hluas uas tau tuag thiab peb cov neeg koom tes Vermont PIRG tau koom nrog peb hauv rooj plaub hauv tsev hais plaub hauv tsoomfwv tebchaws uas nrhiav kev tiv thaiv rau cov neeg ua haujlwm uas EPA muab rau cov neeg siv khoom. (Vim tias peb qhov kev foob tsis yog ib qho tshwj xeeb, lub tsev hais plaub tau koom nrog cov ntawv thov los ntawm NRDC, Latin American Jobs Council, thiab Halogenated Solvent Manufacturers Association. Tus tom kawg sib cav tias EPA yuav tsum tsis txhob txwv tsis pub siv cov neeg siv khoom.) Txawm hais tias tus kws txiav txim plaub tsis lees txais pawg neeg lag luam kev lag luam qhov kev thov kom tshem tawm txoj cai tiv thaiv cov neeg siv khoom, peb poob siab heev uas xyoo 2021 lub tsev hais plaub tsis kam yuam kom EPA txwv tsis pub siv cov khoom lag luam uas ua rau cov neeg ua haujlwm raug cov tshuaj lom neeg no.
Thaum EPA txuas ntxiv ntsuam xyuas cov kev pheej hmoo cuam tshuam nrog methylene chloride, peb txuas ntxiv thawb kom muaj kev tiv thaiv txhua yam kev siv cov tshuaj no. Nws tau ua rau muaj kev ntseeg siab me ntsis thaum EPA tso tawm nws qhov kev ntsuam xyuas kev pheej hmoo hauv xyoo 2020 thiab txiav txim siab tias 47 ntawm 53 daim ntawv thov ua rau muaj "kev pheej hmoo tsis tsim nyog." Qhov txhawb siab dua, tsoomfwv tshiab tau rov ntsuam xyuas dua tias PPE yuav tsum tsis txhob raug suav hais tias yog ib txoj hauv kev los tiv thaiv cov neeg ua haujlwm, thiab pom tias txhua yam tsuas yog ib qho ntawm 53 qhov kev siv uas nws tau tshuaj xyuas sawv cev rau kev pheej hmoo tsis tsim nyog.
Peb tau ntsib ntau zaus nrog EPA thiab cov nom tswv hauv Tsev Dawb uas tau tsim cov kev ntsuam xyuas kev pheej hmoo thiab cov cai, tau muab lus tim khawv tseem ceeb rau EPA Pawg Neeg Saib Xyuas Kev Tshawb Fawb, thiab tau hais cov dab neeg ntawm cov neeg uas tsis tuaj yeem nyob ntawd.
Peb tseem tsis tau ua tiav - thaum txoj cai tau tshaj tawm hauv Federal Register, yuav muaj 60 hnub rau kev tawm tswv yim, tom qab ntawd cov koom haum hauv tsoomfwv yuav tshuaj xyuas cov lus tawm tswv yim ua ntej lawv dhau los ua qhov kawg.
Peb yaum kom EPA ua tiav txoj haujlwm los ntawm kev tshaj tawm txoj cai ruaj khov uas tiv thaiv txhua tus neeg ua haujlwm, cov neeg siv khoom thiab cov zej zog. Thov muab koj lub tswv yim thaum tawm tswv yim los ntawm peb daim ntawv thov online.
