Mu bushakashatsi buherutse gukorwa n'abashakashatsi bakomeye, hagaragaye ibintu biteye impungenge ku birebana n'umutekano w'ifumbire mvarugandaisahani ya salade ya kraftByaragaragaye ko ibi bikombe bisa nkaho birengera ibidukikije bishobora kuba birimo "imiti ihoraho." Ibi binyabutabire, bizwi nka per- na polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), byateje impungenge bitewe n'ingaruka mbi zishobora kugira ku buzima.
PFAS ni itsinda ry'imiti ikorerwa n'abantu irwanya ubushyuhe, amazi n'amavuta. Yakoreshejwe cyane mu nganda zitandukanye, harimo no gupakira ibiryo, bitewe n'ubushobozi bwayo bwo kwirukana amavuta n'amazi. Ariko, ubushakashatsi butandukanye bwagaragaje ko iyi miti ifitanye isano n'ibibazo bitandukanye by'ubuzima, birimo kanseri, ibibazo by'iterambere, ndetse n'imikorere mibi y'ubudahangarwa bw'umubiri.
Ubushakashatsi buherutse gukorwa bwibanze ku bintu bishobora guhindurwaIsahani ya salade ifite umupfundikizo, bicuruzwa nk'uburyo bwo gusimbura ibikoresho bya pulasitiki bisanzwe. Ibi bikombe bikozwe mu mpapuro zishobora kongera gukoreshwa kandi bifite imbere hameze nk'iy'icyuma gikozwe mu buryo bwa PE kugira ngo bikomere. Biroroshye, birwanya kwangirika, kandi bikwiranye n'ibintu byinshi.
Ariko, ubushakashatsi bwavumbuye ibimenyetso bya PFAS mu dukombe twinshi twapimwe dushobora gushongeshwamo ifumbire. Ibi byavumbuye biteye impungenge ku bijyanye n'uko iyi miti ishobora kwimuka iva mu dukombe ikajya mu biribwa birimo. Abaguzi bashobora guhura na PFAS batabizi iyo bariye amafunguro atangwa muri utu dukombe twitwa ko tutangiza ibidukikije.
Nubwo ari ngombwa kumenya ko urwego rwa PFAS ruboneka muriibikombe by'impapuroNubwo byari bike cyane, ingaruka z’igihe kirekire zo guhora uhura n’ibi binyabutabire nubwo byaba ari bike cyane ntizizwi ku buzima. Kubera iyo mpamvu, impuguke zirasaba inzego zishinzwe kugenzura gushyiraho amahame n’amabwiriza akaze yo gukoresha PFAS mu bikoresho byo gupfunyikamo ibiribwa.
Abakoraibikombe byo gutwaramo ifumbirebyasubije vuba ibi byavuye mu bushakashatsi byongera gusuzuma uburyo bakora n'ibikoresho byabo. Hari ibigo byamaze gutera intambwe zikomeye mu kugabanya urugero rwa PFAS mu bicuruzwa byabo no kurinda umutekano w'abaguzi.
Nubwo ubushakashatsi bugaragaza impungenge ku kuba PFAS iri mu ifumbire y'imboreraamasahani ya salade, ni ngombwa kwibuka ko izi nkongoro zigitanga ibyiza byinshi. Impapuro zazo zo mu bwoko bwa Kraft zishobora kongera gukoreshwa zituma ziba amahitamo meza ku bidukikije, kandi ubushobozi bwazo bwo kwirinda amazi no kwirinda amavuta butuma zikwiriye ibiryo bitandukanye. Byaba salade ikonje, poke, sushi, cyangwa ibindi biryoshye, izi nkongoro zitanga uburyo bworoshye kandi bukoreshwa mu buryo butandukanye bwo kurya mu rugendo.
Mu gusoza, ibyavuye mu bushakashatsi buherutse gukorwa bigaragaza ko ibikombe byo gutekeshamo ifumbire bishobora kuba birimo "imiti isanzwe" izwi nka PFAS. Nubwo ubu buvumbuzi butera impungenge ku ngaruka zishobora kubaho ku buzima, abakora ibi bicuruzwa barimo gukora cyane kugira ngo bagabanye PFAS mu bicuruzwa byabo.Nubwo byavumbuwe, ifumbire y'imboreraIbikombe bya salade by'impapuro za kraftgukomeza kuba amahitamo y'ingirakamaro ku bantu bashaka ibisubizo byo gupfunyika ibiryo bitangiza ibidukikije kandi byoroshye.
