Ijenali Yezokwelapha Emsebenzini Nesifo Sobuthi 2011, 6:2 doi:10.1186/1745-6673-6-2
Abstract:
Ifunwe yiScientific Committee on Emerging and Newly Identified Health Risks (SCENIHR)) e umbiko ku-EU-Commission ukuthi “… .abukho ubungozi bemiphumela emibi yesistimu obukhona futhi ukusetshenziswa kwamanje kwe-amalgam yamazinyo akubeki engcupheni yesifo se-systemic…”
I-SCENIHR ayizange iyinake i-toxicology ye-mercury futhi ayizange ifake izifundo zesayensi ezibaluleke kakhulu ekubuyekezweni kwazo. Kepha imininingwane yangempela yesayensi ikhombisa ukuthi:
(a) Ukuhlanganiswa kwamazinyo kungumthombo oyinhloko womthwalo womuntu ophelele we-mercury. Lokhu kufakazelwa yizifundo ze-autopsy ezithola ama-mercury ama-2-12 izikhathi ezingaphezulu kwezicubu zomzimba zabantu abane-amalgam yamazinyo. Izifundo ze-Autopsy yizifundo ezibaluleke kakhulu futhi ezibaluleke kakhulu ekuhloleni umthwalo we-amalgam obangelwa umthwalo we-mercury.
(b) Lezi zifundo zokuhlolwa kwesidumbu zibonise ngokungaguquguquki ukuthi abantu abaningi abane-amalgam banamazinga anobuthi we-mercury ebuchosheni noma ezinso zabo.
(c) Akukho kuhlangana phakathi kwamazinga e-mercury egazini noma emchameni, kanye namazinga ezicubu zomzimba noma ukuqina kwezimpawu zomtholampilo. I-SCENIHR ithembele kuphela kumazinga emchameni noma egazini.
(d) Ingxenye yempilo ye-mercury ebuchosheni ingahlala iminyaka eminingana kuya emashumini eminyaka, ngakho-ke i-mercury iqoqa ngokuhamba kwesikhathi ukuvezwa kwe-amalgam ezicutshini zomzimba kuye emazingeni anobuthi. Kodwa-ke, i-SCENIHR ithi isigamu sempilo ye-mercury emzimbeni "yizinsuku ezingama-20-90" kuphela.
(e) Umhwamuko weMercury cishe unobuthi ophindwe kayishumi kunobuthi bomthofu kuma-neuron womuntu nangobuthi obuhambisana nezinye izinsimbi.
(f) Ucwaningo oluningi olucashunwe yi-SCENIHR oluphetha ngokuthi ukuhlanganiswa kwe-amalgam kuphephile kuneziphambeko ezinzima kakhulu.
Funda i-athikili ephelele: Mutter- Ngabe i-amalgam iphephile kubantu?
