Inā i kāpīpī ʻia i nā mea kanu mahu a i ʻole ma luna o kahi kuki kokoleka, he ʻāpana o ka paʻakai kai kahi hōʻoluʻolu nui i nā meaʻai a pau e pili ana i kā mākou. Akā ke hoʻohui nei paha mākou ma mua o ka mea ʻala wale nō i ka hoʻohana ʻana i kēlā shaker-he nui nā ʻano paʻakai i haumia me nā ʻāpana plastik liʻiliʻi, wahi a kahi noiʻi Kina hou. (P.S. Kēia mea Palapala i kāu lumi kuke e hāʻawi iā ʻoe i ka lāʻau make.)

I ke aʻo ʻana, paʻi ʻia i ka puke pai pūnaewele Ka ʻEpekema ʻepekema a me nā ʻenehana, kahi hui o nā kānaka noiʻi i hōʻiliʻili i nā mana he 15 o nā paʻakai maʻamau (i loaʻa mai ka moana, nā loko, nā luawai, a me nā mines) i kūʻai ʻia aku ma nā mākeke nui ma Kina. Ke ʻimi nei nā ʻepekema i nā microplastics, nā huna ʻāpana palaki liʻiliʻi i koe i nā huahana like ʻole a nā hue a me nā ʻeke, ʻaʻole nui ia ma mua o 5 millimeter i ka nui.

Ua loaʻa iā lākou ka nui kiʻekiʻe o kēia mau microplastics i ka paʻakai papaʻaina maʻamau, akā ʻo ka mea nui loa i loko o ka paʻakai kai-ma kahi o 1,200 mau ʻāpana palaka no ka paona.

ʻOiai ʻoe e noʻonoʻo he pilikia paha kēia no nā poʻe e noho ana ma Kina, ʻo ka ʻāina ka paʻakai nui loa o ka honua, no laila ʻo kēlā poʻe e noho nei he mau mile mile ka mamao (ʻo ia ʻo ʻAmelika) e hoʻopili ʻia paha e kēia pilikia. Lapaʻau i kēlā me kēia lā. "Ua lilo ka Plastics i mea haumia ma nā wahi āpau, kanalua ʻole wau he mea nui inā ʻoe e ʻimi i ka plastic i ka paʻakai kai ma nā papa supermarket Chinese a ʻAmelika paha," i ʻōlelo ʻo Sherri Mason, Ph.D., ke aʻo nei i ka haumia ea.

Ua helu nā mea noiʻi e hiki i kahi kanaka nāna e hoʻohana i ka paʻakai i manaʻo ʻia no ka paʻakai mai ka World Health Organization (5 gram) e ʻai e pili ana i ka 1,000 mau ʻāpana ea i kēlā me kēia makahiki. Akā ʻoiai ʻo ka hapa nui o nā ʻAmelika e ʻai pālua i ka helu sodium i ʻōlelo ʻia i kēlā me kēia lā, ʻo ia ka manaʻo conservative.

He aha ka manaʻo maoli o kēia no ko mākou olakino? ʻAʻole ʻike ka poʻe loea i ke ʻano o ka hōʻino e ʻai i nā microplastics (i loaʻa pū ʻia i nā iʻa iʻa) e loaʻa i kā mākou ʻōnaehana, a nui ka noiʻi e pono ai. Akā palekana ia e ʻōlelo aku ai, ʻo ka hoʻokomo ʻana i nā huna liʻiliʻi o ka ea ʻaʻole ia maikaʻi loa na mākou.

No laila, inā ʻoe e ʻimi nei i kumu e hoʻopau ai i kāu ʻano paʻakai, ʻo ia nō paha.
