I-PDP yenza amasampula nokuhlolwa kwaminyaka yonke ukuze kutholakale ulwazi mayelanaisibulala-zinambuzaneizinsalela ekudleni kwase-US. I-PDP ihlola izinhlobo ezahlukene zokudla kwasekhaya nokungeniswa kwamanye amazwe, igxile kakhulu ekudleni okuvame ukudliwa yizinsana nezingane.
I-US Environmental Protection Agency icabangela amazinga okuchayeka kanye nemiphumela yezempilo yezibulala-zinambuzane ekudleni futhi ibeka imikhawulo ephezulu yezinsalela (ama-MRL) yezibulala-zinambuzane ekudleni.
Kwahlolwa amasampula angu-9,832 ngo-2023, okuhlanganisa ama-alimondi, ama-apula, ama-avokhado, izithelo nemifino eyahlukahlukene yokudla kwezingane, ama-blackberry (amasha naqandisiwe), i-celery, amagilebhisi, amakhowe, u-anyanisi, ama-plum, amazambane, ummbila omnandi (omusha naqandisiwe), amajikijolo amnandi aseMexico, utamatisi, kanye nekhabe.
Amasampula angaphezu kwama-99% ayenamazinga ezinsalela zezibulala-zinambuzane ngaphansi kwesisekelo se-EPA, kanti amasampula angama-38.8% ayengenazo izinsalela zezibulala-zinambuzane ezitholakalayo, okuwukwenyuka kusuka ngo-2022, lapho amasampula angama-27.6% ayengenazo izinsalela ezitholakalayo.
Amasampula angu-240 aqukethe izibulala-zinambuzane ezingu-268 ezephula ama-EPA MRL noma aqukethe izinsalela ezingamukeleki. Amasampula aqukethe izibulala-zinambuzane ezingaphezu kokubekezelelwa okuqinisekisiwe afaka ama-blackberry amasha angu-12, i-blackberry eqandisiwe eyodwa, i-baby peach eyodwa, i-celery engu-3, amagilebhisi angu-9, amajikijolo angu-18 athambile, kanye notamatisi abangu-4.
Izinsalela ezinamazinga okubekezelelana angakaqinisekiswa zatholakala kumasampula angu-197 ezithelo nemifino emisha necutshunguliwe kanye nesampula eyodwa yama-alimondi. Izimpahla ezazingenawo amasampula ezibulala-zinambuzane angakaqinisekiswa zazihlanganisa u-avokhado, isosi yama-apple amancane, uphizi omncane, amapheya amancane, ummbila omusha omnandi, ummbila omnandi oqandisiwe, kanye namagilebhisi.
I-PDP iphinde iqaphe ukutholakala kokudla ukuze kutholakale ukungcola okungapheli kwemvelo (ama-POP), okuhlanganisa nezibulala-zinambuzane ezivinjelwe e-United States kodwa ezihlala endaweni ezungezile futhi ezingamuncwa yizitshalo. Isibonelo, i-DDT, i-DDD, kanye ne-DDE enobuthi kutholakale kumaphesenti angu-2.7 amazambane, amaphesenti angu-0.9 esilimo esidliwayo, kanye namaphesenti angu-0.4 okudla kwezingane okusanhlamvu.
Nakuba imiphumela ye-USDA PDP ikhombisa ukuthi amazinga ezinsalela zezibulala-zinambuzane ahambisana nemikhawulo yokubekezelelana kwe-EPA unyaka nonyaka, abanye abavumelani nokuthi imikhiqizo yezolimo yase-US ayivikelekile ngokuphelele ezingozini zezibulala-zinambuzane. Ngo-Ephreli 2024, i-Consumer Reports yashicilela ukuhlaziywa kwedatha ye-PDP yeminyaka eyisikhombisa, iphikisana ngokuthi imikhawulo yokubekezelelana kwe-EPA yayibekwe phezulu kakhulu. I-Consumer Reports yahlola kabusha idatha ye-PDP isebenzisa ibhentshi elingaphansi kwe-EPA MRL futhi yakhala nge-alamu kweminye imikhiqizo. Isifinyezo sokuhlaziywa kwe-Consumer Reports singafundwa lapha.
