Paʻa ka plastik i loko o ko mākou koko!!!

Paʻa ka plastik i loko o ko mākou koko!!!
Me he mea lā ʻaʻohe wahi ma ka honua i kaʻawale i nā koena plastik, akā ʻo ka hōʻoia ʻana o kona noho ʻana i loko o ko mākou koko he mea kupanaha, a ke hōʻike nei i kahi pilikia kaiapuni nui a weliweli e hoʻonui nei.

Ua alakaʻi nā mea noiʻi mai Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam a me ke Kulanui o Amsterdam Medical Center i nā laʻana koko mai 22 mau mea ola olakino, ʻike ʻole ʻia no nā ʻano o nā polymers synthetic maʻamau i ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o 700 nanometers ke anawaena.

Ua ʻike nā kānaka ʻepekema i nā koena liʻiliʻi o ka plastic i loko o ke koko o nā mea hāʻawi, ka mea i hāpai i nā hopohopo e pili ana i kona mau pilikia olakino lōʻihi, e like me ka Science Alert.

Nā mea i hoʻohana ʻia i nā ʻāpana kaʻa a me nā moena

Eia kekahi, ua hoʻokomo ʻia nā mea hoʻohālike i nā microplastics e like me ka polyethylene terephthalate (PET), ka mea maʻamau i hoʻohana ʻia i nā ʻōmole lole a me nā mea inu, a me nā polymers styrene, i hoʻohana pinepine ʻia i nā ʻāpana kaʻa, nā ʻeke a me nā pahu meaʻai.

ʻAʻole hiki i ka poʻe noiʻi ke hāʻawi i ka haʻihaʻi pololei o ka nui o nā ʻāpana i loko o ke koko, akā naʻe, me ka ʻike ʻana e pili ana nā ʻāpana liʻiliʻi i ʻike ʻia e ka loiloi i ka palena 700 nanometer a ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi o ke kino e komo ma mua o nā ʻāpana nui ma mua o 100 micrometers.

Ua koʻikoʻi lākou he nui nā mea a lākou i ʻike ʻole ai e pili ana i ka hopena kemika a me ke kino o nā microplastics i loaʻa ma waena o nā cell kanaka.

Ua hōʻike ʻia nā haʻawina holoholona i kekahi mau hopena hopohopo, akā ʻaʻole maopopo ka wehewehe ʻana i kā lākou ʻike ma ke ʻano o ke olakino kanaka.

ʻOi aku ka pilikia o nā keiki

"Ua ʻike nō hoʻi mākou ma ka laulā ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi o nā pēpē a me nā keiki liʻiliʻi i ka ʻike ʻana i nā kemika a me nā ʻāpana," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo Dick Fitak, he mea hoʻonaʻauao kūlohelohe ma Vrije University, Amsterdam.

ʻOiai ka liʻiliʻi o ka poʻe hana manawaleʻa, hōʻike kēia haʻawina ʻaʻole i kānana piha ʻia ka lepo mai ko mākou honua hana e ko mākou māmā a me nā ʻōpū.

Ua hōʻoia ka haʻawina e pono ai ka noiʻi hou aʻe i nā hui nui a me nā ʻano like ʻole e palapala ʻia pehea a me kahi e laha a hōʻiliʻili ai nā microplastics i loko o ke kanaka, a pehea e hoʻopau ʻia ai ko mākou kino.
