Kule vidiyo eyingqophamlando ethi "Ukubhema Izinyo", i-IAOMT ikhombisa ngokubonakalayo ukuthi umusi we-mercury ungakhishwa kanjani ekugcwalisweni kwamazinyo e-amalgam.

Ukuphepha kwe-amalgam yamazinyo kuye kwaxoxwa ngakho kusukela ukusetshenziswa kwalezi zinto zamazinyo kwaqala eminyakeni engaphezu kwengu-150 edlule, futhi impikiswano enkulu ibigxile kwi-mercury kulokhu kugcwaliswa. Ukwehlukanisa phakathi kwezinsumansumane neqiniso mayelana nalezi zinto ezinempikiswano zamazinyo kusiza ukukhombisa ukuthi ukugcwaliswa kwe-mercury kuyingozi kubantu nakwimvelo.

Uhlobo lwe-mercury ekugcwaliseni ama-amalgam wamazinyo luphephile. I-methylmercury kuphela enhlanzini eyaziwa ukuthi iyingozi. = AKULONA IQINISO, AMANGA

IMercury ekugcwalisweni kwamazinyo e-amalgam ihlala ikhishwa, ikwenza kucace ukuthi lokhu kufakwa akuphephile.

Iqiniso ngukuthi uhlobo lwe-mercury olusetshenziswa ekuhlanganisweni kwe-amalgam yi-elemental (metallic) mercury, okuluhlobo olufanayo lwe-mercury elisetshenziswa ezinhlotsheni ezithile zama-thermometer (amaningi awo avinjelwe). Zonke izinhlobo ze-mercury ziyingozi, futhi ukuvezwa kwe-mercury, noma ngamanani amancane, kwaziwa ukuthi kunobuthi futhi kubeka ubungozi obukhulu empilweni yabantu.

A Umbiko we-World Health Organisation ka-2005 uxwayise nge-mercury: “Kungadala imiphumela elimazayo ethunjini, ekugayeni ukudla, ekuphefumuleni, emasosheni omzimba nasezinsweni, ngaphandle kokudala ukulimala kwamaphaphu. Imiphumela emibi yezempilo evela ekuvezweni kwe-mercury kungaba: ukundindizela, ukungaboni kahle nokuzwa, ukukhubazeka, ukuqwasha, ukungazinzi ngokomzwelo, ukuntuleka kokukhula ngesikhathi sokukhula komntwana, kanye nokushoda kokunaka kanye nokubambezeleka kokukhula ngesikhathi sobuntwana. Ucwaningo lwakamuva lukhombisa ukuthi i-mercury kungenzeka ingabi nawo umkhawulo ongezansi okungenzeki eminye yemiphumela emibi kuwo. ”

Chofoza lapha ukuze ufunde mayelana izimpawu zobuthi be-mercury ezihambisana nokugcwaliswa kwe-elemental (metallic) mercury kanye ne-dental amalgam mercury fillings.

… Kodwa "Inhlangano enjalo noma udokotela wamazinyo" ithi ukugcwaliswa kwamazinyo kwe-amalgam mercury kuphephile.

Kubalulekile ukwazi ukuthi ukuphepha kwe-amalgam okusolwayo okwamanje kuphonselwa inselelo ngempumelelo ngesayensi entsha, futhi kuthathwa izinyathelo ezintsha mayelana ne-mercury yiziphathimandla emhlabeni wonke. Ku-2017, isivumelwano se-United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) somhlaba wonke, esibopha ngokomthetho, esibopha ngokusemthethweni Isivumelwano seMinamata ngeMercury, yaqala ukusebenza njengendlela yokuvikela abantu nemvelo. Kubandakanya imizamo yokuqeda ukusetshenziswa kwe-amalgam yamazinyo. Amanye amazwe ngamanye isivele ivinjelwe i-amalgam ye-mercury yamazinyo, kanye ne-European Union ucabangela ukuvinjelwa ngo-2030. I-US EPA isebenzise izinyathelo zoMthetho Wamanzi Ahlanzekile ukuze thuthukisa amazinga emitholampilo yamazinyo ukusebenzisa ama-amalgam separators ukuze i-mercury yamazinyo ingafakwa emgodini kanye nemvelo, futhi lawa mazinga aqale ukusebenza ngo-2017.

I-dental amalgam mercury nezinye izinhlobo ze-mercury akuphephile emvelweni, futhi amazwe avimbele i-dental mercury nezinye izinhlobo ze-mercury akwenzile lokho kuphela ngenxa yokulimaza imvelo. = AKULONA IQINISO, AMANGA

Iqiniso ukuthi izinyathelo zithathwa ngqo ukuvikela zombili abantu nemvelo kusuka ezingcupheni ezingaba khona zemercury yamazinyo. Empeleni, i-United Nations Environment Programme isho ngokusobala: “I Isivumelwano seMinamata ngeMercury yisivumelwano somhlaba wonke soku vikela impilo yomuntu kanye nemvelo kusuka emiphumeleni emibi ye-mercury ”[kugcizelelwe ukungezwa]. Ngokunjalo, amazwe athatha izinyathelo ngokumelene nokugcwaliswa kwamazinyo kwe-amalgam mercury akhombisile ukukhathazeka ngomthelela wawo ezigulini ngokunciphisa ukusetshenziswa kwazo kubo bonke abantu noma ezindaweni ezithile, ikakhulukazi abesifazane abakhulelwe nezingane.

I-mercury ekugcwalisweni kwe-amalgam yamazinyo iphephile ngoba iboshwe ngokuphelele kokuqukethwe (okuvaleleke ekufakweni) futhi ayikhishwa. = AKULONA IQINISO, AMANGA

Ukugcwaliswa kwesiliva kungu-50% we-mercury, futhi amaqiniso akhombisa ukuthi i-amalgam yamazinyo ayiphephile.

Konke ukubuyiswa kwe-amalgam yamazinyo kuqukethe cishe i-50% ye-mercury, futhi imibiko nocwaningo kuyafana ukuthi lokhu kufakwa kukhipha i-mercury, kuveza iziguli zamazinyo, ochwepheshe bamazinyo, abasebenzi bamazinyo, kanye nemibungu yabo kule neurotoxin eyaziwayo.

Ngokwengeziwe, ku ucwaningo olushicilelwe ngo-2011, UDkt. G. Mark Richardson ubike ukuthi abantu baseMelika abangaphezu kwezigidi ezingama-67 abaneminyaka emibili nangaphezulu badlula ukuphuzwa kwe-mercury vapor ethathwa njenge "ephephile" yi-US EPA ngenxa yobukhona be-dental mercury amalgam fillings, kanti abangaphezu kwezigidi eziyi-122 baseMelika badlula ukungeniswa komphunga we-mercury obhekwa "njengokuphephile" yi-California EPA ngenxa yokugcwaliswa kwawo kwe-mercury yamazinyo.

I-amalgam yamazinyo iphephile ngoba azikho izindatshana zephephabhuku ezibuyekezwa ontanga ezibonisa ubungozi ekugcwalisweni kwamazinyo e-mercury. = AKULONA IQINISO, INKOLEKO

Ngenkathi amanye amaqembu evume imercury yamazinyo, akhipha ukuphepha kwe-amalgam yamazinyo, futhi athi azikho izindatshana ezibuyekezwa ontanga ngobungozi bayo, lokhu akulona iqiniso nje. Ukubuyekezwa kontanga okuningi, izifundo zesayensi zibika ubungozi obuhambisana nokugcwaliswa kwamazinyo kwe-mercury yamazinyo. Eqinisweni, izindatshana zesayensi ezingaphezu kuka-200 ezikhiqizwe ngosesho lwezincwadi ku I-PubMed (ngokusebenzisa i-US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health) bekulokhu kunjalo eqoqwe yi-IAOMT. Kumele kuqashelwe ukuthi i-MEDLINE, ye-US National Library of Medicine, iyona nto eyinhloko yePubMed, nokuthi iningi lamajenali afakwe ku-MEDLINE abuyekezwa ngontanga.

Ukube ukugcwaliswa kwamazinyo kwe-amalgam mercury bekungaphephile, khona-ke wonke umuntu onawo ubeyogula. = AKULONA IQINISO, INKOLELOZWANE

Ukuthola kahle "imiphumela emibi yezempilo" ehlobene nokugcwaliswa kwamazinyo e-mercury yamazinyo kuyinkimbinkimbi yokuthi ukusabela kungathatha iminyaka ukuzibonakalisa kanye nohlu oluyinkimbinkimbi izimpendulo ezingaba khona entweni leyo, okubandakanya izimpawu ezithile ezingaphezu kuka-250. Akuzona zonke iziguli ezizothola uphawu olufanayo noma inhlanganisela yezimpawu.  Izici zobungozi zenziwe zaba ngezakho kakhulu. Chofoza lapha ukuze ufunde kabanzi mayelana ne- izimpawu zobuthi be-zebus.

Bonke laba odokotela bamazinyo bazama nje ukwenza imali ngokutshela abantu ukuthi abanayo i-mercury futhi / noma-baphephile i-mercury. = AKULONA IQINISO, AMANGA

Iqiniso ngukuthi abantu abaningi abaye bakuphonsela inselele ukuphepha kwe-amalgam yamazinyo futhi baletha ukukhathazeka nge-mercury kulokhu kugcwaliswa umphakathi noma iziphathimandla zikahulumeni, kufaka phakathi odokotela bamazinyo, bakhishwe inyumbazane futhi bahlaselwa ngenxa yokuthatha isinyathelo ngokumelene ne-mercury. Ngenxa yalokho abaningi abakubheka njenge- “gag umthetho”Yi-ADA, odokotela bamazinyo abangenayo i-mercury baqondisiwe, baze balahlekelwa namalayisense abo okuzijwayeza ukuqeqeshela amazinyo angenawo ama-mercury, ukukhangisa ngemikhuba yabo engena-mercury, ukushicilela izindatshana, noma ukufundisa ngamazinyo angenawo ama-mercury.

The IAOMT, inhlangano engenzi nzuzo enesimo sokupha umphakathi, kwaba idalwe ku-1984, futhi selikhule laba ngamalungu angaphezu kuka-800 asebenzayo eNyakatho Melika, anezahluko ezixhumene namanye amazwe ayishumi nane. Inzuzo i-IAOMT enethemba lokuyithola ukuthi iqiniso lizonqoba phezu kwenganekwane, okuholele ekugcineni kwe-amalgam mercury yamazinyo kanye nokwamukelwa komhlaba wonke kwemikhiqizo yamazinyo ephephile, engeyona enobuthi.
