UMateyu Horwood / Getty Izithombe Xa iibhotile zeplastiki zaziswa ngeminyaka yee-1970, zazisebenza njengexabiso eliphantsi kwiibhotile zeglasi (nge Indawo yeSizwe ). Ngenxa yokuba ibhotile yamanzi yeplastiki ithatha iminyaka engama-450 ukubola ngokupheleleyo, kwaye kukho indawo enkulu yenkunkuma eyenziwe ikakhulu kwimfucuza yeplastiki embindini woLwandlekazi iPasifiki (nge Indawo yeSizwe kukho ulwazi olukhulayo lokuba uluntu kufuneka lushiye kude nalo ukuthenga nokusebenzisa iibhotile zamanzi zeplastiki .
Nangona kunjalo, banokufeza injongo ebalulekileyo. Kwiindawo apho amanzi empompo engaselwayo, umzekelo, iibhotile zeplastiki zamanzi acociweyo kuphela komthombo wamanzi aselwayo. Banokulunga ukuba babekhona ekuphumeni okanye endlwini yakho kwimeko kaxakeka. Kodwa ukuba une-stash yamanzi asebhotileni kwenye indawo, enye yezona zinto zibaluleke kakhulu ukuyenza kukuyigcina ngaphandle kwelanga.
Yintoni amaqondo obushushu aphezulu ayenzayo kwiibhotile zeplastiki
Ifoto nguJack Taylor / Getty Izithombe Uphononongo olwenziwe yiDyunivesithi yaseFlorida lufumanise ukuba ukuba ibhotile yamanzi yeplastikhi ichaphazeleka ixesha elide lobushushu, inokukhupha i-bisphenol A (edla ngokufinyezwa njenge-BPA) kunye ne-antimony element emanzini. Usekela ). Abaphandi bacebise ukuba i-BPA ifunyenwe itshintsha amanqanaba e-hormone, ikhokelela kwimicimbi ye-cardiovascular, kwaye yandisa umngcipheko wee-cancer. Ukwazisa i-antimony kwinkqubo yakho kunokukhokelela kuluhlu lwezinto zesisu kubandakanya urhudo, ukugabha kunye nezilonda zesisu.
Uphononongo lwalinganisa amanqanaba kwiibhotile ezazigcinwa kubushushu obufikelela kwi-158 degrees Fahrenheit kwaye yafumanisa ukuba aphezulu amaqondo obushushu, aphakama amanqanaba e-BPA kunye ne-antimony emanzini. Oku kuthetha ukuba akufuneki ukuba kubekwe ngqo elangeni, kodwa endaweni yoko bubushushu obudibeneyo obangela ukuba iplastiki ifake ukungcola emanzini.
Ukuba unamathela kwishelufu yobomi obucetyiswayo bamanzi asebhotileni (ngesiqhelo unyaka) kwaye ungayigcini kwindawo eshushu ngokungeyomfuneko, yonke into kufanelekile.
