Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ifafazwe emifino eshisiwe noma phezu kwekhukhi likashokoledi, ingcosana kasawoti wasolwandle iyisengezo esamukelekayo kunoma yikuphi ukudla esikucabangayo. Kodwa kungenzeka ukuthi sengeza okungaphezu nje kwesinongo lapho sisebenzisa lelo shaker-izinhlobo eziningi zikasawoti zingcoliswe izinhlayiya zepulasitiki ezincane, kusho ucwaningo olusha lwaseShayina. (PS Le nto Engcolile Ekhishini Lakho ingakunika ubuthi bokudla.)

Esifundweni, esishicilelwe ephephabhukwini eliku-inthanethi Isayensi Yezemvelo Nobuchwepheshe, ithimba labacwaningi laqoqa izinhlobo ezingu-15 zikasawoti ovamile (otholakala olwandle, amachibi, imithombo, nezimayini) othengiswa ezitolo ezinkulu kulo lonke elaseChina. Ososayensi bebefuna ama-microplastic, izinhlayiya zepulasitiki ezincane ezisele emikhiqizweni eyahlukene yabantu amabhodlela epulasitiki nezikhwama, ngokuvamile angabi ngaphezu kwamamilimitha angu-5 ngosayizi.

Bathola amanani aphakeme ngokungajwayelekile ala microplastics ngosawoti ojwayelekile wetafula, kepha ukungcoliswa okukhulu kunakho konke bekungolwandle usawoti-cishe izinhlayiya zepulasitiki eziyi-1,200 ngephawundi ngalinye.

Ngenkathi ungacabanga ukuthi lokhu kuzwakala njengenkinga kubantu abahlala eChina kuphela, izwe empeleni lingumkhiqizi kasawoti omkhulu kunabo bonke emhlabeni, ngakho-ke ngisho nalabo abahlala ezinkulungwaneni zamamayela (okusho iMelika) basazothinteka yile nkinga, kubika imibiko Medical Daily. "Amapulastiki aphenduke ukungcola okukhona yonke indawo, ngiyangabaza ukuthi kunendaba ukuthi ubheka ipulasitiki kusawoti wasolwandle emashalofini ezitolo ezinkulu zaseShayina noma zaseMelika," kusho uSherri Mason, Ph.D., ofunda ngokungcoliswa kwepulasitiki.

Abaphenyi babala ukuthi umuntu odla usawoti onconyiwe ovela kwi-World Health Organisation (amagremu ama-5) angadla izinhlayiya zepulasitiki ezibalelwa ku-1 000 unyaka nonyaka. Kepha njengoba iningi labantu baseMelika lidla kabili isibalo se-sodium esinconyiwe nsuku zonke, lokho kulinganisa okulondolozayo.

Kusho ukuthini-ke lokhu empilweni yethu? Ochwepheshe abakazi okwamanje ukuthi hlobo luni lomonakalo odla inani elikhulu kangaka lama-microplastics (nalawo atholakala ekudleni kwasolwandle) ongaba nawo kumasistimu ethu, futhi ucwaningo olwengeziwe luyadingeka. Kepha kuphephile ukusho, ukufaka izinhlayiya ezincane zepulasitiki akuyona kuhle okwethu.

Ngakho-ke uma ufuna isizathu sokukhahlela umkhuba wakho kasawoti, lokhu kungase kube yikho.
