I-Canada Idinga Amabhizinisi Ukuletha Ulwazi ku-312 Pfas

UMnyango wezeMvelo wase-Canada ukhiphe isaziso esisha esidinga ukuthi izinhlangothi ezithintekayo zithumele idatha eyisibopho ezinhlotsheni ezingama-312 ze-PFAS ezikhiqizwe, zangeniswa, noma zasetshenziswa emikhiqizweni eyeqa imikhawulo ethile phakathi nonyaka ka-2023, ngo-January 29, 2025. Isaziso sikhishwe ngaphansi kwesigaba 71(1)(b) soMthetho Wokuvikelwa Kwemvelo wase-Canadian 1999.

Izidingo Zokubika

Ishejuli 1 yesaziso ihlukanisa i-PFAS esohlwini lwama-312 ibe izingxenye ezintathu: Ingxenye 1 ihlanganisa izinto ezingama-273, Ingxenye 2 ihlanganisa okungu-26, futhi Ingxenye 3 ihlanganisa u-13. Izimfuneko ezihlukene zisebenza ezigabeni ezihlukahlukene zezinto.

Amabhizinisi aseCanada ahlangabezana nanoma iyiphi yale mibandela elandelayo ngo-2023 kudingeka ukuthi asebenzise ukubika okunezigaba ngemikhiqizo eqediwe engenisiwe:

• Ukukhiqiza noma iyiphi i-312 PFAS esohlwini ngamanani adlula amagremu ayi-1000 (amaphawundi angama-2.2);
• Ukungenisa ngaphezu kwamagremu angu-10 (ama-0.35 ounces) Engxenye 1 PFAS noma ngaphezulu kwamakhilogremu angu-100 (amaphawundi angu-220) Engxenye 2 noma Ingxenye 3 PFAS, noma ngabe into ikhona yodwa noma izingxube, imikhiqizo, noma ekugxiliseni okudlula ingxenye engu-1 ngesigidi (ppm) ezigabeni eziyi-12 ezishiwo zemikhiqizo eqediwe ebikwe;
• Ukungenisa ngaphezu kwamakhilogremu ayi-100 wanoma iyiphi i-PFAS efakwe ohlwini lwe-312, ngokugxila okudlula i-1ppm emikhiqizweni eqediwe engafakiwe ezigabeni ezishiwo eziyi-12; noma
• Ukusebenzisa amagremu angaphezu kwe-10 we-PFAS esohlwini ekwenzeni izingxube, imikhiqizo, noma izindatshana - noma ngabe zisetshenziswa zodwa noma ekugxilweni okudlula i-1ppm.

Izigaba ezilandelayo eziyi-12 zemikhiqizo engenisiwe zingaphansi kwezidingo zokubika ezigcwele uma ziqukethe i-PFAS esohlwini olungaphezulu kwemikhawulo ecacisiwe:

1. Imikhiqizo yezingane ezingaphansi kweminyaka engu-14, okuhlanganisa ama-pacifiers, omati bokudlala, namathoyizi amazinyo;
2. Imikhiqizo yabesifazane, ama-contact lens, izinsiza-kuzwa, izifihla-buso, nezinye izinto okulindeleke ukuthi zithinte ulwelwesi lwamafinyila;
3. Imikhiqizo engase ibangele ukuhogela noma ukuthintana nesikhumba somuntu siqu noma izimbotshana zomlomo, njengeziqabunga komoya, imaski yobuso, amashidi okomisa, amakhandlela, namakesi ocingo;
4. I-cookware kanye nezitsha ezithintana ngqo nokudla okushisayo noma iziphuzo;
5. Izinto zokupakisha ukudla, okuhlanganisa izitsha zetafula ezilahlwayo, amathini okudla, nama-lid liner;
6. Iziqukathi zokudla neziphuzo ezingasetshenziswa kabusha, okuhlanganisa amabhodlela ezingane nezinkomishi zokuhamba;
7. Imishini yokucubungula ukudla, okuhlanganisa izinto zokuthutha, amathreyi, amashubhu amakhulu, imibhobho, isikhunta, nezisiki;
8. Izingubo nezicathulo, okuhlanganisa nemishini yomuntu siqu yokuntanta, okokusebenza kwezemidlalo, nokugqokwa kokuzivikela kwezilungiselelo zochwepheshe;
9. Izingubo zokulala, izikhwama zokulala, namathawula;
10. Ifenisha, omatilasi, amacushion ezihlalo, kanye nemicamelo, lapho i-PFAS ikhona kumagwebu, isikhumba, noma imicu yendwangu, izintambo, noma izindwangu;
11. Amakhaphethi, i-vinyl noma i-laminate flooring, nomata begwebu baphansi; futhi
12. Izicelo lapho i-PFAS esohlwini ilindeleke ukuthi ikhishwe ezintweni ezikhiqiziwe, njengezinto zokunakekela umuntu ezihlinzeka ngezisetshenziswa namakha, noma amapeni nomaka abakhipha izingulube, odayi, noma izinyibilikisi.

Ulwazi okufanele luhlinzekwe luhlanganisa kodwa alukhawulelwe emagameni omuntu noma ebhizinisi, amakheli, izinombolo zebhizinisi, imininingwane yokuxhumana yabantu abanomthwalo wemfanelo, kanye nolwazi oluningiliziwe ngokukhiqizwa, ukusetshenziswa, kanye nenani lokungenisa kwekhemikhali ngayinye. Labo abangafakwanga ezigabeni ezingu-12 kodwa abeqa imingcele esohlwini kusadingeka babike, kodwa badinga kuphela ukuhlinzeka ngolwazi lwenkampani kanye “nencazelo emfushane kanye negama elijwayelekile lento eyenziwe equkethe into”.

Izibonelo

Ukubika akudingekile ngaphansi kwemibandela elandelayo:

• “Amabhizinisi amancane” anabasebenzi abangaphansi kwesihlanu noma ngaphansi kuka-$30,000 emalini engenayo yonyaka isiyonke.
• I-PFAS kuphela ekuthuthweni kwe-Canada.
• I-PFAS isetshenziselwe izinjongo zomuntu siqu.
• I-PFAS ehloselwe ukuhlaziya ilabhorethri noma ucwaningo lwesayensi.

Isikhathi sokugcina sokuhambisa

Amabhizinisi afanelekile kufanele anikeze imininingwane enemininingwane efinyeleleka ngokunengqondo mayelana nezinsiza namanani ahlobene nokwakhiwa, ukungenisa, noma ukusetshenziswa kwe-PFAS esohlwini. Abahambisi banezinyanga cishe eziyisithupha zokunikeza lolu lwazi, nomnqamulajuqu wokubika wangoJanuwari 29. Bangase bacele isikhathi esengeziwe, kodwa kufanele benze kanjalo okungenani izinsuku ezinhlanu zebhizinisi ngaphambi komnqamulajuqu kaJanuwari. Zonke izicelo zokunwetshwa kufanele zithunyelwe ekhelini le-imeyili eliqokiwe loMnyango wezeMvelo: substances@ec.gc.ca ngaphambi komnqamulajuqu.
