Izidingo Ezikhethekile Zezakhiwo Ezindala

Kusolwa ukuthi isakhiwo sakho siqukethe ama-PCB uma uphendula ngo-YEBO kuyo YOMIBILI imibuzo:

1. 1. Ubudala: Ingabe yakhiwa noma yavuselelwa kusukela ngo-1950-1980?
   2. Ukusetshenziswa Nesakhiwo: Ingabe yindawo yokuhlala yezohwebo, yezimboni noma enezitezi eziningi?

Ayini ama-PCB?

Ama-PCB (ama-polychlorinated biphenyls) angamakhemikhali anobuthi, abangela umdlavuza ayevame ukusetshenziswa ezintweni zokwakha kusukela ngo-1950-1980, okuhlanganisa:

• Ukucaulking
• Upende kanye nezinto zokuvala
• I-Grout
• Izinto zophahla
• Ama-ballast alula

Izidingo Zezakhiwo Okusolwa Ukuthi Ziqukethe Ama-PCB

Uma isakhiwo sakho sihlangabezana nemibandela YOMBILI engenhla:

❌ UNGENZI ukugeza ngomfutho noma ukuhlanza ingaphandle lesakhiwo noma imigwaqo yabahamba ngezinyawo eseduze kuze kube yilapho ukuhlolwa kwe-PCB kuqediwe

❌ UNGENZI vumela noma yimaphi amanzi okugeza (ngisho namanzi alula angenayo insipho) ukuthi angene emiseleni yamanzi enezimvula ezinkulu

✅ YENZA xhumana ne-Ecology ngaphambi kokuhlanza ukuze uxoxe ngezidingo zokuhlolwa kwe-PCB

Thola imininingwane eminingi mayelana nendlela yokuhlonza izinto ezisetshenziswayo ezinama-PCB angaba khona kanye nendlela yokuwaphatha ku- Washington State Department of Ecology PCBs in Ikhasi Lezakhiwo.

Ukubhidliza Nokulungisa Ukuvimbela Ukungcoliswa Kwamanzi Eziphepho

Umsebenzi wokubhidliza nowokulungisa ungaba nomthelela empilweni yabasebenzi nalabo abahlala eduze. Ingadalula noma ikhiphe amakhemikhali anobuthi emoyeni nasendaweni ezungezile, njenge:

• I-Asbestos
• Ukuhola
• Amalambu e-fluorescent aqukethe i-Mercury
• Ama-PCB ezintweni zokwakha
  • Kusolwa ukuthi isakhiwo sakho siqukethe ama-PCB uma uphendula ngo-YEBO kuyo YOMIBILI imibuzo:
    1. 1. Ubudala: Ingabe yakhiwa noma yavuselelwa kusukela ngo-1950-1980?
       2. Ukusetshenziswa Nesakhiwo: Ingabe yindawo yokuhlala yezohwebo, yezimboni noma enezitezi eziningi?

Ngaphambi kokuqala noma iyiphi iphrojekthi yokudiliza noma yokuvuselela, vakashela i- Ikhasi le-Washington State Department of Ecology's Construction & Demolition ukuze uthole olunye ulwazi.

Okwamaphrojekthi abandakanya ukubhidlizwa noma ukulungiswa kabusha, landela isiqondiso sokuhlolwa kwama-PCB ezintweni zokwakha ngaphambi kokwakhiwa nokulahla ngokufanele, ngokwesiqondiso se-US EPA se-PCBS Ikhasi le-EPAs Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs).
