Ma Mei 3, 2023, ua hoʻopuka ka EPA i kahi lula i manaʻo ʻia ma ka Federal Register e pāpā i ka hapa nui o ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka methylene chloride.
Hāʻawi ʻia ka ʻae ʻana o ka EPA no ka lula i manaʻo ʻia ma lalo o ke Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), a ʻo dichloromethane ka lua o ka kemika i hoʻoponopono ʻia ka pilikia ma lalo o ke kaʻina hana hoʻoponopono i hana ʻia e Frank R. Lautenberg. ʻO ka 21st Century Chemical Safety Act o 2016, ma hope o ka hahai ʻana o ka ʻoihana i kahi neʻe e pale aku i ka poʻe mai ka ʻike asbestos, ua hoʻokomo ʻia i ka makahiki i hala.
Hoʻohana ʻia ʻo Dichloromethane ma nā ʻano like ʻole, me nā noi mea kūʻai aku e like me nā aerosol degreasers a me nā mea hoʻomaʻemaʻe pulupulu no nā pena a me nā uhi, nā noi pāʻoihana e like me nā adhesives a me nā mea hoʻopaʻa paʻa, a me nā noi ʻoihana i ka hana ʻana i nā kemika ʻē aʻe. No ka laʻana, hoʻohana ʻia ka dichloromethane ma ke ʻano he mea waena kemika i ka hana ʻana i nā hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs)32, i hoʻohana ʻia i loko o nā mea hoʻoheheʻe i hui ʻia e hoʻololi i nā mea me ka hiki ke hoʻomehana honua.
Ma ka liʻiliʻi he 85 mau kānaka i make mai ka hōʻike ʻana i ka methylene chloride mai ka makahiki 1980, ʻo ka hapa nui o nā limahana hana hoʻomaikaʻi hale i hoʻomaʻamaʻa piha ʻia a lako me nā lako pale pilikino, e like me ka Environmental Protection Agency.
ʻO ka loiloi pilikia ʻole o ka ʻoihana no ka dichloromethane ma muli o nā pilikia e pili ana i nā limahana, nā mea hoʻohana ʻole ʻoihana (nā limahana kokoke akā ʻaʻole i ʻike pololei ʻia i ka kemika), nā mea kūʻai aku, a me nā mea kokoke i kahi e hoʻohana ai ka mea kūʻai. Ua ʻike ka Environmental Protection Agency i nā pilikia o nā hopena maikaʻi ʻole i ke olakino kanaka, e like me ka neurotoxicity, ka ate a me nā hopena maʻi maʻi mai ka inhalation, a me ka ʻike ʻana i ka ʻili i ka methylene chloride.
ʻO nā lula hoʻokele pilikia i manaʻo ʻia e hōʻemi wikiwiki i ka hana ʻana, ka hana ʻana a me ka hāʻawi ʻana i ka methylene chloride no nā mea hoʻohana āpau a me ka hapa nui o nā ʻoihana a me nā hoʻohana ʻoihana, ʻo ka hapa nui e hoʻokō piha ʻia i loko o 15 mau mahina. No ka hapa nui o ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka methylene chloride i manaʻo ʻia e ka EPA e pāpā, ua hōʻike ʻia kāna loiloi e loaʻa mau nā kumu kūʻai a me nā mea ʻokoʻa i nā huahana methylene chloride.
"Ua maopopo ka ʻepekema ma hope o ka methylene chloride a hiki i ka hoʻolaha ke hoʻoulu i nā hopena olakino koʻikoʻi a hiki i ka make, ʻo ia ka mea maoli no ka nui o nā ʻohana i nalowale i ka poʻe aloha i ka make ʻana," wahi a ka Luna Hoʻokele o EPA Michael S. Regan. ma kahi hoʻolaha paʻi ʻoihana. "ʻO ia ke kumu e hana ai ka EPA ma o ka manaʻo ʻana e pale i ke olakino o nā limahana ma ka hoʻokomo ʻana i nā mana ʻoi aku ka ikaika o ka wahi hana e pāpā ai i ka hoʻohana nui ʻana i kēia kemika a hōʻemi i ka ʻike ʻana i nā mea ʻē aʻe.
"No ka hana ʻenehana, ka hana ʻenehana, a me ka hoʻohana federal ʻaʻole i manaʻo ʻia e ka EPA e pāpā, ke hāʻawi nei ka EPA i kahi papahana pale kemika ma kahi hana me nā palena ʻike paʻa e pale aku i nā limahana," i ʻōlelo ʻia ma kahi ʻōlelo. "Ua loaʻa i ka EPA ka manaʻo o ka ʻoihana e hōʻike ana ua hoʻokō paha kekahi mau mea hana i nā palena o ka hoʻolaha ʻana i ka methylene chloride i manaʻo ʻia. ke kākoʻo nei ke kānāwai i ka hoʻomau ʻana i nā hana e hōʻemi i nā hoʻokuʻu."
Eia kekahi, ʻōlelo ka EPA i kekahi mau hoʻohana o ka dichloromethane i koi ʻia e NASA, DOD a me FAA e hoʻomau ʻia e hoʻopaʻa paʻa ʻia i ka wahi hana, no ka mea hiki ke hoʻemi ʻia ka ʻike i kēia mau kūlana paʻakikī e hōʻemi i ka pilikia i nā limahana e like me ka hiki.
"ʻO nā pāpā a me nā mea paʻa i manaʻo ʻia e pale aku i ka lehulehu mai ka ʻike ʻana i ka methylene chloride," wahi a ka ʻōlelo. "ʻO ka Environment Protection Agency, me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ʻeono makahiki o ka ʻikepili hoʻokuʻu ʻana i nā mea ʻawaʻawa, ua ʻike i kahi helu liʻiliʻi o nā keʻena ma ke ʻano he pilikia i nā kaiāulu paʻa.
E ʻae ʻia nā manaʻo no ka lula i manaʻo ʻia ma o ka Federal Electronic Rulemaking Portal a hiki i Iulai 3, 2023, helu helu EPA-HQ-OPPT-2020-0465.
