Kangangamashumi eminyaka, abantu abamangalela i-KPR US kwiNkundla yeSithili yase-US kuMazantsi eGeorgia babehlala kwaye basebenza kumgama oziikhilomitha ukusuka kumzi-mveliso we-Augusta, bebanga ukuba abazange baqaphele ukuba baphefumla umoya onokubeka impilo yabo emngciphekweni. Ngokwabameli bommangali, abasebenzisi bemizi-mveliso ye-EtO babeyazi malunga neengozi ezinokuthi zenzeke kwi-EtO ekuqaleni kwe-1980. (I-Arhente yoKhuseleko lweNdalo yase-US idwelise i-ethylene oxide njenge-carcinogen yabantu ngoDisemba 2016.)
Umntu otshutshisa i-KPR US uneentlobo ngeentlobo zomhlaza, kuquka umhlaza wamabele, i-B-cell lymphoma, i-ovarian kunye nomhlaza wekoloni, kunye nokuphuma kwesisu. Kwityala elahlukileyo, umfi ka-Eunice Lambert wafaka isimangalo emva kokuba esweleke ngenxa ye-leukemia ngo-2015.
Idatha ye-EPA edweliswe ngamagqwetha ommangali kwisimangalo ibonisa ukuba i-KPR yanciphisa kakhulu ukukhutshwa kwe-EtO ngo-2010, kodwa yayiphezulu kakhulu kumashumi eminyaka adlulileyo.
“Ngenxa yoko, abantu abahlala kwaye basebenze kufutshane nezibonelelo ze-KPR bajongana neyona mingcipheko iphezulu yomhlaza yexesha elide e-United States ngaphandle kolwazi lwabo. Aba bantu baye bangena ngokungazi i-ethylene oxide rhoqo kwaye ngokuqhubekayo amashumi eminyaka. Ngoku, bathwaxwa yimihlaza eyahlukahlukeneyo, baphunyelwa zizisu, beneziphene ekuzalweni kwabo, kwaneminye imiphumo yempilo eguqula ubomi babo ngenxa yokuqhubeka bechanabeke kwi-ethylene oxide,” babhala njalo amagqwetha eAtlanta Cook & Connelly uCharles C. Bailey noBenjamin H. Richman noMichael. Ovca e-Edelson, eChicago.
Umrhumo uyilo lwezonyango kunye nokuthunyelwa ngaphandle. Bookmark, wabelane kwaye usebenzisane neejenali zobunjineli boyilo lwezonyango oluphambili namhlanje.
I-DeviceTalks yingxoxo phakathi kweenkokheli zobuchwepheshe bezonyango. Ziziganeko, iipodcasts, iiwebinars, kunye nokutshintshiselana umntu-on-one ngemibono kunye nokuqonda.
Imagazini yoshishino yesixhobo sezonyango. I-MassDevice yijenali yeshishini leendaba zesixhobo sonyango esibalisa ibali lezixhobo zokusindisa ubomi.
