Ua kūpaʻa ʻo Toxic-Free Future i ka hoʻolaha ʻana i ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā huahana palekana, nā kemika a me nā hana no ka wā e hiki mai ana olakino ma o ka noiʻi ʻoi loa, ke kākoʻo ʻana, ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana i nā grassroots a me ka hoʻopili ʻana o nā mea kūʻai aku.
Ua pili ʻia ʻo Dichloromethane i nā hopena olakino e like me ke kanesa, ka ʻawahia o nā puʻupaʻa a me ke akepaʻa, a me ka make. Ua ʻike ka US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) i kēia mau pōʻino no nā makahiki he ʻumi, me 85 mau make ma waena o 1980 a me 2018.
ʻOiai ke ola ʻana o nā koho ʻē aʻe palekana a me nā hōʻike e hiki i ka methylene chloride ke pepehi koke i nā kānaka, ua lohi loa ka EPA i ka pane ʻana i kēia kemika weliweli.
ʻO ka mea hou loa aku nei, ua hāpai ka EPA i kahi lula e pili ana i ka hoʻopau ʻana i ka hapa nui o ka "hana ʻana, hana ʻana, a me ka hāʻawi ʻana i ka dichloromethane no nā mea kūʻai aku a me ka hapa nui o nā kumu ʻoihana a me nā ʻoihana kalepa", me nā kapu i kau ʻia ma kekahi mau ʻoihana a me nā keʻena pekelala. Loaʻa kahi koho palena manawa.
Ua lōʻihi ko mākou kali ʻana. No ka pale ʻana i nā limahana a me ka lehulehu, e ʻoluʻolu e aʻo aku i ka Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) e hoʻopau i kahi kānāwai dichloromethane e pāpā i ka hapa nui, inā ʻaʻole nā ​​​​mea āpau, o ka hoʻohana ʻana i kēia kemika weliweli i ka hikiwawe loa.
