"He DJ vu anō tēnei." I roto i te Horticulture and Home Pest News, i te 3 o Paenga-whāwhā, 1991, i whakaurua e mātou tētahi tuhinga mō ngā tūponotanga o te whakamahi i te "koko patu pepeke" ture kore mō te whakahaere pepeke o te whare. Kei te kitea tonu te raruraru, e ai ki tēnei panuitanga a te California Environmental Protection Agency (kua whakarerekētia).

WHAKATŪPATO I TUKU MŌ TE PESTICIDE "CHALK": HE MŌREAREA KI NGĀ TAMARIKI

I whakatūpato te Tari Whakahaere Pesticide me ngā Ratonga Hauora o California i ngā kaihoko i tēnei rā kia kaua e whakamahi i te tioka patu pepeke turekore. "He tino morearea ēnei hua. Ka taea e ngā tamariki te pohehe he tioka noa iho o te whare," te kī a te Āpiha Hauora o te Kāwanatanga a James Stratton, MD, MPH, "Me karohia e ngā kaihoko." "He mārama, he morearea te hanga i te patu pepeke kia rite ki te taonga takaro - he turekore hoki," te kī a te Tumuaki Tuarua o te DPR, a Jean-Mari Peltier."

He kino ngā hua nei — e hokona ana i raro i ngā ingoa hokohoko maha tae atu ki te Pretty Baby Chalk, me te Miraculous Insecticide Chalk — mō ngā take e rua. Tuatahi, ka taea te whakaaro he tioka noa iho ēnei mō te kāinga, ā, kua pau i ngā tamariki, ā, ka pāngia e ngā mate maha. Tuarua, kāore i rēhitatia ngā hua, ā, kāore i te turehia ngā kai me te takai.

Kua tangohia e te Tari Tiaki Taiao o Amerika he mahi ki tētahi o ngā kaituku, ā, kua tukuna he whakahau ki a Pretty Baby Co., i Pomona, Calif., kia "mutu te hoko i tētahi hua kāore anō kia rēhitatia, he mea kino ki te hauora o te iwi whānui." E hokohoko kaha ana a Pretty Baby i tana hua kāore anō kia rēhitatia ki ngā kaihoko me ngā kura i runga i te Ipurangi me ngā pānuitanga nūpepa.

"He tino morearea ngā hua pēnei," te kī a Peltier. "Ka taea e te kaihanga - ā, ka taea - te whakarerekē i te tātai mai i tētahi puranga ki tētahi." Hei tauira, e toru ngā tauira o tētahi hua kua tapaina ko "Miraculous Insecticide Chalk" i tātarihia e DPR i te marama kua taha ake nei. E rua i roto te deltamethrin i ngā patupatu; ko te tuatoru i roto te cypermethrin i ngā patupatu.

He piretiroi hangai te Deltamethrin me te cypermethrin. Mēnā ka nui rawa te pānga ki te hauora, ka pāngia pea koe e te ruaki, te mamae o te puku, te wiri, te pōuri, me te mate nā te ngoikore o te manawa. Tērā pea ka pāngia koe e ngā mate pāwera kino.

Kua kitea he nui te mata me ētahi atu konganuku taumaha kei roto i ngā pouaka tae kanapa e whakamahia ana mō ēnei hua. Ka raru pea tēnei mēnā ka maka e ngā tamariki he pouaka ki roto i ō rātou waha, ka pā atu rānei ki ngā pouaka ka whakawhiti i te toenga konganuku ki ō rātou waha.

Kua honoa ngā pūrongo mō ngā mate takitahi i roto i ngā tamariki ki te kai, ki te pā atu rānei ki te tioka. Ko te mate tino kino i puta i te tau 1994, i te wā i haria ai tētahi tamaiti o San Diego ki te hōhipera i muri i tana kai i te tioka patu pepeke.

Kaua ngā kaihoko kua hoko mai i ēnei hua turekore e whakamahi. Maka atu te hua ki ngā whare penapena para kino o te kāinga.
