UTom Perkins ubhale ngokubanzi malunga nemingcipheko enokubakho yeekhemikhali eziyityhefu.Nasi isikhokelo sakhe sokufumana ezinye iindlela ezikhuselekileyo zekhitshi lakho.
Ukulungiswa nje kokutya kunokuba ngummandla onetyhefu.Iikhemikhali eziyingozi zihlala phantse kuwo onke amanyathelo okupheka: PFAS "iikhemikhali ezingapheliyo" kwi-cookware engabambekiyo, ii-BPAs kwizikhongozeli zeplastiki, ilothe kwii-ceramics, i-arsenic kwiipani, i-formaldehyde kwiibhodi zokusika, kunye nokunye.
Abalawuli bokhuseleko lokutya batyholwa ngokusilela ukukhusela uluntu kwiikhemikhali ezisemakhitshini ngemikrozo kunye nokungaphenduli ngokwaneleyo kwizisongelo.Kwangaxeshanye, ezinye iinkampani zifihla ukusetyenziswa kwezinto eziyingozi okanye zigqithise iimveliso ezingakhuselekanga njengezikhuselekileyo.Kwanamashishini aneenjongo ezintle agalela ityhefu kwiimveliso zawo engazi.
Ukuba sesichengeni rhoqo kwiikhemikhali ezininzi esidibana nazo kubomi bethu bemihla ngemihla kunokuba yingozi empilweni.Kukho malunga nama-90,000 eekhemikhali ezenziwe ngumntu kwaye asinalo nofifi lokuba ukuchaneka kwethu imihla ngemihla kuzo kuya kuyichaphazela njani impilo yethu.Ezinye izilumkiso zifanelekile, kwaye ikhitshi yindawo efanelekileyo yokuqala.Kodwa ukujongana nomgibe kunzima kakhulu.
Kukho ezinye iindlela ezikhuselekileyo zokhuni, iglasi ye-borosilicate, okanye intsimbi engatyiwa phantse kuzo zonke izinto zasekhitshini zeplastiki, nangona kukho imiqolomba.
Qaphela ngeengubo ezingenanto, zihlala ziqulethe izinto ezingakhange ziphandwe kakuhle.
Yiba nokuthandabuza amagama okuthengisa afana "nozinzo", "luhlaza", okanye "okungenatyhefu" angenayo inkcazo yomthetho.
Jonga uhlalutyo oluzimeleyo kwaye uhlale usenza uphando lwakho.Ezinye iiblogi zokhuseleko lokutya ziqhuba uvavanyo lwesinyithi esinzima okanye ityhefu efana nePFAS kwiimveliso ezingavavanywanga ngabalawuli, ezinokubonelela ngolwazi oluluncedo.
Ukuthatha iminyaka yam yolwazi lokungcoliseka kweekhemikhali kuMgcini, ndichonge iimveliso zasekhitshini ezinomngcipheko ophantsi kwaye ezingenazo ityhefu.
Malunga neminyaka elishumi edlulileyo, ndatshintsha iibhodi zam zeplastiki zokusika nge-bamboo, endizifumana zingenatyhefu kangako kuba iplastiki inokuqulatha amawaka eekhemikhali.Kodwa ke ndiye ndafunda ukuba i-bamboo idla ngokuvunwa kwiiplanga ezininzi, kwaye iglu iqulethe i-formaldehyde, enokubangela i-rash, ukucaphuka kwamehlo, utshintsho ekusebenzeni kwemiphunga, kwaye mhlawumbi i-carcinogen.
Nangona kukho iibhodi ze-bamboo ezenziwe ngeglue "ekhuselekileyo", zinokuthi zenziwe ngetyhefu ye-melamine formaldehyde resin, enokubangela iingxaki zezintso, ukuphazamiseka kwe-endocrine, kunye neengxaki ze-neurological.Okukhona iqondo lobushushu liphezulu kwaye kokukhona ukutya kuneasidi eninzi, kokukhona iba nkulu ingozi yokukhupha ityhefu.Iimveliso ze-Bamboo ngoku zihlala ziphethe i-California Proposition 65 isilumkiso sokuba imveliso inokuba neekhemikhali ezithile ezaziwa ngokubangela umhlaza.
Xa ukhangela iplanga lokusika, zama ukufumana elenziwe ngeplanga elinye, elingancamathiselweyo.Nangona kunjalo, qaphela ukuba iibhodi ezininzi zenziwa ngokusebenzisa i-oyile ye-mineral grade grade.Abanye bathi ikhuselekile, kodwa i-oyile-based based, kwaye kuxhomekeke kwindlela ecocwe ngayo, umxholo ophezulu we-oyile ye-mineral unokuba yi-carcinogenic.Nangona abavelisi abaninzi bebhodi yokusika besebenzisa ioli eneminerali, abanye bayifaka endaweni yayo ngeoli yekhokhonathi ecazululiweyo okanye iwaka leenyosi.I-Treeboard yenye yeenkampani ezimbalwa endizaziyo ezisebenzisa isiqwenga somthi esiqinileyo esinesiphelo sokhuseleko.
Umthetho we-Federal kunye noLawulo lokuTya kunye neDrugs luvumela ukusetyenziswa kwelothe kwi-cookware ye-ceramic kunye ne-cutlery.Yona kunye nezinye izinyithi ezinzima ezinobungozi ezifana ne-arsenic zinokongezwa kwi-ceramic glazes kunye ne-pigments ukuba isiqwenga sigxothwe ngokufanelekileyo kwaye senziwe ngaphandle kokukhupha i-toxins ekudleni.
Noko ke, kukho amabali abantu abafumana ityhefu yelothe kwizinto ezenziwe ngodongwe ngenxa yokuba ezinye izinto ezenziwe ngodongwe azimenyeziswanga kakuhle, yaye iitshiphusi, imikrwelo nezinye izinto ezigugayo zinokwandisa ingozi yokuvuza kweentsimbi.
Unokukhangela iiseramikhi "ezingenalo isikhokelo", kodwa qaphela ukuba oku akusoloko kunjalo.I-Lead Safe Mama, i-website ekhokelayo yokhuseleko eqhutywa nguTamara Rubin, isebenzisa izixhobo ze-XRF ukuvavanya isinyithi esinzima kunye nezinye iityhefu.Iziphumo zakhe zenza amathandabuzo kumabango ezinye iinkampani zokuba azinalothe.
Mhlawumbi eyona ndlela ikhuselekileyo kukukhupha iikeramics kwaye ubeke endaweni yazo nge-glass cutlery kunye neekomityi.
Kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo, ndiye ndalahla iipani zam zeTeflon, ezenziwe kwi-PFAS enetyhefu ephela ekutyeni, ndixhasa i-cookware yentsimbi ene-enameled edumileyo, ebibonakala ikhuselekile kuba ibihlala ingenziwa ngesambatho esingabambekiyo.
Kodwa ezinye iiblogi zokhuseleko lokutya kunye neebhlogi ezikhokelayo ziye zabika ukuba ilothe, i-arsenic kunye nezinye izinyithi ezinzima zihlala zisetyenziswa kwi-pan glazes okanye njenge-bleaches ukuphucula umbala.Ezinye iinkampani zinokubhengeza imveliso njengengenazo isinyithi esinzima, ebonisa ukuba i-toxin ayikho kuyo yonke imveliso, kodwa oku kusenokuthetha nje ukuba i-toxin ayizange ikhutshwe ngexesha lokwenziwa, okanye ukuba i-lead yayingadibanisi nokutya.phezu komhlaba.Kodwa iitshiphusi, imikrwelo, kunye nokunye ukunxiba kunye nokukrazula kunokwazisa isinyithi esinzima ekutyeni kwakho.
Iipani ezininzi zithengiswa njenge "zikhuselekile", "eziluhlaza", okanye "ezingenabungozi", kodwa le migaqo ayichazwanga ngokusemthethweni, kwaye ezinye iinkampani ziye zathatha ithuba loku kungaqiniseki.Iimveliso zinokupapashwa njenge “PTFE-free” okanye “PFOA-free”, kodwa iimvavanyo zibonise ukuba ezinye iimveliso zisenazo ezi khemikhali.Kwakhona, iPFOA kunye neTeflon ziintlobo nje ezimbini zePFAS, apho kukho amawaka.Xa uzama ukuphepha ukusebenzisa iTeflon, khangela iipani ezibhalwe “PFAS-free”, “PFC-free”, okanye “PFA-free”.
Ihashe lam elingelona tyhefu yiSolidTeknics Noni Frying Pan, eyenziwe kumgangatho ophantsi we-nickel ferritic steel stainless steel, intsimbi engezwani nenye enokuba yityhefu ngobuninzi.Iphinde yenziwe kwiphepha elilodwa lentsimbi elingenamthungo kunokuba libe namacandelo amaninzi kunye nezixhobo ezinokuqulatha isinyithi esinzima.
I-carbon steel skillet yam yasekhaya ayinayo ityhefu kwaye isebenza njenge-non-enamelled cast iron skillet, enye indlela ekhuselekileyo ngokubanzi.Ezinye iipani zeglasi nazo zicocekile, kwaye kwabo bapheka kakhulu, licebo elilungileyo lokuthenga iipani ezininzi zezinto ezahlukeneyo ukuthintela ukuvezwa kwemihla ngemihla kwiityhefu ezinokubakho.
Iimbiza neepani zineengxaki ezifanayo neepani.Imbiza yam ye-8 yeelitha yeHomiChef yenziwe ngentsimbi ekumgangatho ophezulu ye-nickel-free ebonakala ngathi ayinayo ityhefu.
Uvavanyo lukaRubin lufumene ilothe kunye nezinye iintsimbi ezinzima kwezinye iimbiza.Nangona kunjalo, ezinye iibrendi zinamanqanaba asezantsi.Uvavanyo lwakhe lufumene ilothe kwezinye izithako kwiPot ekhawulezileyo, kodwa hayi kwizithako eziye zadibana nokutya.
Zama ukuphepha naziphi na iinxalenye zeplastiki xa usenza ikofu, njengoko le nto inokuba namawaka eekhemikhali ezinokuphuma, ngakumbi ukuba zidibana nezinto ezishushu, ezineasidi njengekofu.
Uninzi lwabenzi bekofu yombane ubukhulu becala benziwe ngeplastiki, kodwa ndisebenzisa umatshini wokushicilela waseFransi.Oku kuphela kweglasi yokushicilela endiyifumeneyo ngaphandle kwesihluzo seplastiki kwisiciko.Olunye ukhetho olufanelekileyo yi-Chemex Glass Brewery, ephinda ikhululekile kwiingxenye zetsimbi ezingenasici ezinokuquka i-nickel.Ndikwasebenzisa ijagi yeglasi endaweni yejagi yentsimbi engatyiwayo ukunqanda ukukhupha intsimbi yenickel eqhele ukufumaneka kwintsimbi engatyiwayo.
Ndisebenzisa i-Berkey Activated Carbon Filtration System kuba kuthiwa isusa uluhlu olubanzi lweekhemikhali, iibhaktheriya, isinyithi, iPFAS kunye nezinye izinto ezingcolileyo.I-Berkey ibangele ingxabano ngenxa yokuba ayikho i-NSF / ANSI eqinisekisiweyo, isiqinisekiso sokhuseleko kunye nokusebenza kukarhulumente we-federal for filters zabathengi.
Endaweni yoko, inkampani ikhupha iimvavanyo zomntu wesithathu ezizimeleyo zongcoliseko olungaphezulu kwe-NSF/ANSI yovavanyo lokhuselo, kodwa ngaphandle kwesiqinisekiso, ezinye izihluzi zeBerkey azinakuthengiswa eCalifornia okanye e-Iowa.
Iinkqubo ze-osmosis ezibuyisela umva zezona nkqubo zisebenzayo zokunyanga amanzi, ngakumbi xa iPFAS ibandakanyeka, kodwa zikwamosha amanzi amaninzi kwaye zisuse izimbiwa.
I-spatula yeplastiki, i-tongs, kunye nezinye izixhobo ziqhelekileyo, kodwa zinokuquka amawaka eekhemikhali ezinokufudukela ekutyeni, ngakumbi xa zishushu okanye zine-asidi.Uninzi lweziphekepheke zam zangoku zenziwe ngentsimbi engatyiwa okanye ngamaplanga, akhuseleke ngakumbi, kodwa lumka i-bamboo cookware ene-formaldehyde glue okanye i-cookware eyenziwe nge-melamine eyityhefu ye-formaldehyde resin.
Ndikhangela izinto zokupheka ezenziwe ngeqhekeza eliqinileyo leplanga eliqinileyo kwaye ndijonge izinto ezingagqitywanga okanye ezikhuselekileyo ezinje ngewex okanye ioli yekhokhonathi ecazululweyo.
Nditshintshe uninzi lwezikhongozeli zeplastiki, iingxowa zesandwich, kunye neengqayi zokutya ezomileyo ngeziglasi.Iiplastiki zinokuqulatha amawaka eekhemikhali ezinokuvuzeka kwaye azinakonakala.Izikhongozeli zeglasi okanye iingqayi zitshiphu kakhulu ekuhambeni kwexesha.
Abenzi bephepha be-wax abaninzi basebenzisa i-petroleum-based wax kunye ne-bleach iphepha nge-chlorine, kodwa ezinye iimpawu, ezinje ngokuba Ukhathalele, sebenzisa iphepha elingaxutywanga kunye ne-soy wax.
Ngokufanayo, ezinye iintlobo zesikhumba ziphathwa nge-PFAS enetyhefu okanye zifakwe i-chlorine.Ukuba Uyalikhathalela iphepha lesikhumba alifakwanga iblitshi kwaye alinaPFAS.Ibhlog yeMamavation iphonononge iibrendi ezintlanu ezivavanywe ziilebhu eziqinisekisiweyo ze-EPA kwaye zafumanisa ukuba ezimbini kuzo zinePFAS.
Uvavanyo endiluyaleleyo lufumene amanqanaba aphantsi e-PFAS kwiiphakheji zeReynolds "ezingeyontonga".I-PFAS isetyenziswa njengeearhente ezingabambekiyo okanye izithambiso kwinkqubo yokwenziwa kwaye zincamathele kuyo yonke ifoyile ye-aluminium ngelixa i-aluminium ithathwa njenge-neurotoxin kwaye inokungena ekutyeni.Eyona ndlela ingcono zizikhongozeli zeglasi, ezithi kwiimeko ezininzi zingabi nazityhefu.
Ukuhlamba izitya kunye nokubulala iintsholongwane kumphezulu, ndisebenzisa iSal Suds kaGqr Bronner, enezithako ezingezizo ityhefu kwaye azinavumba elimnandi.Ishishini lisebenzisa imichiza engaphezu kwama-3,000 ukwenza incasa ekutyeni.Iqela labathengi libonise ubuncinci i-1,200 yezi njengemichiza exhalabisayo.
Ngeli xesha, iioyile eziyimfuneko ngamanye amaxesha zigcinwa kwizikhongozeli ezenziwe ngePFAS ngaphambi kokuba zongezwe kwiimveliso zokugqibela zabathengi njengesepha.Le michiza kufunyaniswe ukuba iphelela kulwelo olugcinwe kwezo zikhongozeli.UDkt Bronner uthi ufika kwibhotile yeplastiki engena-PFAS kwaye i-Sal Suds ayinayo ioli ebalulekileyo.Ngokuphathelele isicoci sesandla, andisebenzisi bhotile yeplastiki, ndisebenzisa isepha kaGqr. Bronner engaqholwanga.
Umthombo olungileyo wolwazi ngeesepha ezingenatyhefu, izicoci, kunye nezinye izicoci zasekhitshini liQela eliSebenzayo lokusiNgqongileyo.
