Uma ucabanga ngamakhemikhali anobuthi, mhlawumbe ucabanga ukuthi udaka oluluhlaza luhlanganisana ngaphandle kwamafekthri nemfucuza yenuzi—izinto eziyingozi ongeke uzithole ukuzo. Naphezu kwalesi simo sengqondo sokungaboni ngasolinye, cishe uhlangabezana namakhemikhali angathinta amahomoni nempilo yakho nsuku zonke, kusho uLeonardo Trasande, MD, usosayensi ohamba phambili wezemvelo kanye nomqondisi we-NYU Centre for. Ukuphenywa Kwezingozi Zemvelo. Incwadi yakhe yakamuva, iSicker, Fatter, Poorer, imayelana nezingozi zabaphazamisi be-endocrine, lawo makhemikhali aphazamisa ama-hormone.
Lapha, uDkt. Trasande wabelana ngamaqiniso asekelwe ocwaningweni okudingeka ukwazi—kanye nendlela yokuzivikela.
Yini eyenza lezi zinto zibe yingozi kangaka?
"Ama-hormone angama-molecule emvelo abonisa izimpawu, futhi amakhemikhali okwenziwa aphazamisa ama-hormone ahlakaza lezo zimpawu futhi abe nomthelela ezifweni nasekukhubazekeni. Siyazi mayelana namakhemikhali okwenziwa e-1,000 enza lokho, kodwa ubufakazi buqine kakhulu ezigabeni ezine zazo: ama-flame retardants asetshenziswa ku-electronics. nefenisha; imishanguzo yokubulala izinambuzane kwezolimo; ukuhlanganiswa kwemikhiqizo yokuzinakekela, izimonyo, nokupakisha kokudla; nama-bisphenol, afana ne-BPA, asetshenziswa emathinini e-aluminium nakumaresidi ephepha elishisayo.
Lawa makhemikhali angaba nemiphumela ehlala njalo. Ukungabi nenzalo kwabesilisa nabesifazane, i-endometriosis, i-fibroids, umdlavuza webele, ukukhuluphala ngokweqile, isifo sikashukela, ukusilela kwengqondo, kanye ne-autism kuxhumene nabo ngqo noma ngokungaqondile. "
Angena kanjani la makhemikhali aphazamisa i-endocrine emizimbeni yethu?
"Simunca ngesikhumba sethu. Zisothulini, ngakho-ke siyazidonsa. Futhi sigwinya kakhulu. Thatha imishanguzo yokubulala izinambuzane - ucwaningo lukhombisa ukuthi sinokuchayeka okukhulu kuzo ngomkhiqizo. Kodwa siyaziphuza uma sidla inyama ethile nezinkukhu ngenxa yokuthi izilwane zidle ukudla okufuthwe ngezibulala-zinambuzane. Sidla ngisho nezinto ezivimbela ilangabi kukhaphethi, izinto zikagesi, nefenisha lapho sibeka isandla emlonyeni singaqondile ngenkathi sisebenza kukhompyutha yethu, isibonelo.

Yini esingayenza ukuze sizivikele?
"Kubaluleke kakhulu ukugxila ezindleleni ezilula onganqanda ngazo ukuvezwa kwakho:
- Yidla i-organic. Lokho kusho izithelo nemifino kodwa nobisi, ushizi, inyama, inyama yenkukhu, ilayisi ne-pasta. Ucwaningo luye lwaphakamisa ukuthi ukudla okuphilayo kunganciphisa kakhulu amazinga akho ezibulala-zinambuzane ezinsukwini ezimbalwa.
- Nciphisa ukusebenzisa kwakho ipulasitiki—ikakhulukazi noma yini enezinombolo 3 (phthalates), 6 (styrene, a carcinogen eyaziwayo), kanye no-7 (bisphenols) ngaphansi. Sebenzisa izingilazi noma iziqukathi zensimbi engagqwali uma kungenzeka. Uma usebenzisa ipulasitiki, ungalokothi uyibeke nge-microwave noma uyibeke kumshini wokuwasha izitsha ngoba ukushisa kungadala ukuthi iphuke ngemicroscopic, ngakho-ke ukudla kuzomunca amakhemikhali.
- Ngezimpahla ezisemathinini, qaphela ukuthi noma yini ebizwa ngokuthi “i-BPA-free” ayisho ukuthi i-bisphenol-free. Ukushintshwa kwe-BPA eyodwa, i-BPS, kungenzeka kube yingozi. Kunalokho, bheka imikhiqizo ethi "i-bisphenol-free."
- Geza izandla zakho ngemva kokuthinta amarisidi ephepha. Okungcono kakhulu, ama-risidi athunyelwe nge-imeyili kuwe, ukuze ungawaphathi nhlobo. "
Kuthiwani emakhaya ethu?
"Manzisa phansi phansi bese usebenzisa isihlungi se-HEPA lapho uhlanza ukusiza ukuqeda uthuli oluqukethe la makhemikhali. Vula amafasitela akho ukuze uwahlakazeke. Ngama-flame retardants asefenisha, ukuvezwa okukhulu kakhulu kwenzeka lapho upholstery idabukile. Uma okwakho kudabula, lungisa uma uthenga okusha, bheka imicu efana noboya ngokwemvelo engasheshi ukuvutha. ."
Ngabe zikhona izinyathelo ngamunye wethu angazithatha ezingeni elibanzi ukwenza ukudla nemvelo yethu iphephe?
"Sesibonile inqubekelaphambili enkulu kakhulu. Cabanga ngokunyakaza okungenayo i-BPA. Muva nje, sinciphise izinto ze-perfluorochemical, ezisetshenziselwa ukupakisha ukudla kanye ne-cookware enganqandeki. Lezo zibonelo ziqhutshwa ubushoshovu bomthengi. Ungenza ushintsho lwenzeka ngezwi lakho-nesikhwama."
