I-Countdown ivulelwe Udokotela Wamazinyo Ophephile kanye Nomhlaba Onempilo!
I-Mercury iyikhemikhali enobuthi obukhulu kubantu nasemvelweni. Ukuchayeka ku-mercury, njengokugcwaliswa kwamazinyo e-mercury kungabangela ukulimala kwengqondo, amaphaphu, izinso namasosha omzimba.
Kule minyaka engamashumi amabili edlule i-EU isungule indikimba yomthetho ehlanganisa zonke izici ze-mercury lifecycle, kusukela ezimayini eziyinhloko kuya ekulahleni imfucuza. Lokhu kubandakanya izinyathelo zohwebo, imikhiqizo equkethe i-mercury nokungcoliswa kwe-mercury.
I-EU ivimbele amabhethri aqukethe i-mercury, ama-thermometers, ama-barometers neziqapha zomfutho wegazi. I-Mercury futhi ayisavunyelwe kumaswishi amaningi kanye nama-relay atholakala kumishini kagesi. Izibani ezonga amandla zisebenzisa ubuchwepheshe be-mercury zivunyelwe kuphela emakethe ngokuqukethwe kwe-mercury okuncishisiwe. Akuvunyelwe ukusebenzisa i-amalgam yamazinyo ezigulini ezisengozini. NgoJulayi 2023 Ikhomishana yenza isiphakamiso sokuthi kubuyekezwe imithetho yamanje ukuze kuqhutshekwe kubekwe imingcele ukusetshenziswa okusele kwe-mercury e-EU.
Ngomhlaka 14 kuJulayi 2023, i Ikhomishini iphakamise ukubukezwa ukukhomba ukusetshenziswa kokugcina okusele ngamabomu kwe-mercury emikhiqizweni ehlukahlukene e-EU, ngokuhambisana nezibopho ezibekwe ku-EU's Zero Pollution Ambition. Isibuyekezo sibeke imithetho yokuthi
- ukuqeda ukusetshenziswa kwe-amalgam yamazinyo kusukela ngomhlaka-1 Januwari 2025 ngenxa yezinye izindlela ezisebenzayo ezingenayo i-mercury, ngaleyo ndlela kunciphisa ukuchayeka kwabantu kanye nomthwalo wemvelo.
- ukuvimbela ukwenziwa nokuthunyelwa kwamanye amazwe kwe-amalgam yamazinyo evela e-EU kusukela ngomhlaka-1 Januwari 2025
- ukuvimbela ukwenziwa kanye nokuthekelisa kwamanye amazwe i-mercury engeziwe eyisithupha equkethe izibani kusukela ngomhlaka-1 Januwari 2026 kanye no-1 Januwari 2028 (kuye ngokuthi uhlobo lwamalambu).
Bona imiphumela yokubonisana nomphakathi kanye thola okwengeziwe mayelana nokubuyekeza.
