Ukuhlolwa kwe-USDA ngo-2023 kwathola ukuthi ama-99% emikhiqizo yokudla ayengeqi imingcele yezinsalela zezibulala-zinambuzane.

I-PDP yenza amasampula onyaka kanye nokuhlola ukuze uthole ukuqondaisibulala-zinambuzaneizinsalela ezinsizakalweni zokudla zase-US. I-PDP ihlola izinhlobonhlobo zokudla kwasekhaya nokuphuma kwamanye amazwe, kugxilwe ngokukhethekile ekudleni okuvame ukudliwa izinsana nezingane.
I-US Environmental Protection Agency icabangela amazinga okuchayeka kanye nemiphumela yezempilo yezibulala-zinambuzane ekudleni futhi ibeka imikhawulo ephezulu yezinsalela (MRLs) yezibulala-zinambuzane ekudleni.
Kwahlolwa amasampula angama-9,832 ngo-2023, okuhlanganisa ama-alimondi, ama-apula, ukwatapheya, izithelo nemifino ehlukahlukene yezingane, amajikijolo amnyama (amasha futhi aqandisiwe), isilimo esidliwayo esinamagatsha anamanzi, amagilebhisi, amakhowe, u-anyanisi, ama-plums, amazambane, ummbila omnandi (omusha nofriziwe), amajikijolo e-tart aseMexico, utamatisi, kanye nekhabe.
Ngaphezu kwama-99% amasampula abe namazinga ezinsalela zezibulala-zinambuzane angaphansi kwesisekelo se-EPA, namasampula angama-38.8% angenazo izinsalela zezibulala-zinambuzane ezitholakalayo, okuwukukhuphuka kusuka ngo-2022, lapho amasampula angama-27.6% engenazo izinsalela ezitholakalayo.
Isamba samasampuli angu-240 aqukethe izibulala-zinambuzane ezingu-268 ezephula ama-EPA MRL noma eziqukethe izinsalela ezingamukeleki. Amasampula aqukethe izibulala-zinambuzane ngenhla kokubekezelela okumisiwe ahlanganisa amajikijolo amamnyama ayi-12, amajikijolo afriziwe angu-1, ipentshisi lengane eli-1, isilimo esidliwayo esinamagatsha anamanzi angu-3, ​​amagilebhisi angu-9, amajikijolo angama-tart angu-18, notamatisi obu-4.
Izinsalela ezinamazinga okubekezelela anganqunyiwe zitholwe kumasampula ezithelo nemifino agayiwe angu-197 kanye nesampula elilodwa le-alimondi. Izimpahla ezazingenawo amasampula ezibulala-zinambuzane ezinokubekezelela okunganqunyiwe zihlanganisa ukwatapheya, ama-apulasi ezingane, uphizi wezingane, amapheya ezingane, ummbila omusha omnandi, ummbila omnandi oqandisiwe, namagilebhisi.
I-PDP iphinde iqaphe ukunikezwa kokudla kokungcola okuphilayo okuqhubekayo (POPs), okuhlanganisa nezibulala-zinambuzane ezivinjelwe e-United States kodwa ezihlala emvelweni futhi ezingamuncwa izitshalo. Isibonelo, i-DDT, i-DDD, ne-DDE enobuthi itholwe kumaphesenti angu-2.7 wamazambane, amaphesenti angu-0.9 wesilimo esidliwayo esinamagatsha anamanzi, kanye namaphesenti angu-0.4 okudla kwezingane zekarothi.
Nakuba imiphumela ye-USDA PDP ibonisa ukuthi amazinga ezinsalela zezibulala-zinambuzane ahambisana nemikhawulo yokubekezelela i-EPA unyaka nonyaka, abanye abavumi ukuthi imikhiqizo yezolimo yase-US ivikelekile ngokuphelele ezingozini zezibulala-zinambuzane. Ngo-Ephreli 2024, i-Consumer Reports yashicilela ukuhlaziya kweminyaka eyisikhombisa yedatha ye-PDP, iphikisa ngokuthi imikhawulo yokubekezelela i-EPA yayibekwe phezulu kakhulu. I-Consumer Reports iphinde yahlola idatha ye-PDP isebenzisa ibhentshimakhi engezansi kwe-EPA MRL futhi yahlaba umkhosi kweminye imikhiqizo. Isifinyezo sokuhlaziya Imibiko Yabathengi singafundwa lapha.
